Tropical Cardiovascular Pathology: Autopsy-Based Clinicopathological Cases

The book covers 75 autopsy-based cases (about 75) of common and uncommon presentations of various cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). It emphasizes the importance of autopsies, which have played a pivotal role in understanding the pathology and, hence, the clinical manifestations of several CVDs. The book attempts to present the material from the perspective of the autopsy table. It uses the clinical data as the initial framework and the autopsy findings to develop a proper understanding of the disease and its associated pathophysiology with a final clinicopathological correlation. Each case covers a complete journey of the deceased patient concisely under the following headings―title, clinical history, autopsy findings, and discussion, including a brief literature review. The text is accompanied by relevant, high-quality macroscopic and microscopic images.

The book is relevant for specialists in pathology, cardiology, cardiac surgery, internal medicine, critical care and pediatrics
