Characteristics of Cardiac Muscle Cells
OBJECTIVES The student understands the ionic basis of the spontaneous electrical activity of cardiac muscle cells: Describes how membrane potentials are created across semipermeable membranes by transmembrane ion concentration differences….
Overview of the Cardiovascular System
OBJECTIVES The student understands the homeostatic role of the cardiovascular system, the basic principles of cardiovascular transport, and the basic structure and function of the components of the system: Defines…
The Heart Pump
OBJECTIVES The student knows the basic electrical and mechanical events of the cardiac cycle: Correlates the electrocardiographic events with the mechanical events during the cardiac cycle. Lists the major distinct…
Measurements of Cardiac Function
OBJECTIVES The student recognizes several techniques of assessing cardiac mechanical activity: Describes echocardiography and other cardiac visualization techniques for estimating cardiac ejection fraction. Describes the end-systolic pressure–volume relationship and how…
Infantile Hemangioma
CHAPTER 4 INFANTILE HEMANGIOMA Arin K. Greene KEY POINTS Resection of an infantile hemangioma during the proliferative phase is uncommon. Surgical intervention for an infantile hemangioma is usually performed between…
Arteriovenous Malformations
CHAPTER 10 ARTERIOVENOUS MALFORMATIONS Arin K. Greene KEY POINTS Surgical treatment of arteriovenous malformations must be individualized based on several variables. Arteriovenous malformations are not malignant and do not require…
Lymphatic Malformations
CHAPTER 8 LYMPHATIC MALFORMATIONS Arin K. Greene KEY POINTS Macrocystic lymphatic malformations are treated with sclerotherapy. Lymphatic malformations are not malignant and do not require radical resection for a cure….
Venous Malformations
CHAPTER 9 VENOUS MALFORMATIONS Arin K. Greene KEY POINTS Most venous malformations are treated with sclerotherapy. Venous malformations are not malignant and do not require radical resection for cure. Resection…
