Lucena, García-Pavía, Suarez-Mier, Alonso-Pulpon Clinico-Pathological Atlas of Cardiovascular Diseases

• Contains 635 high definition colour figures presenting morphological findings (macro and microscopical) of the main cardiovascular diseases
• Cardiovascular diseases are presented from both, clinical and pathological perspectives, resulting from close collaboration between forensic pathologists and cardiologists
• Presented as a practical case-based approach to every disease

This atlas reviews the spectrum of pathologies affecting the structures of the cardiovascular (CV) system most frequently encountered in sudden cardiac deaths, and has been conceived as a first step for making CV pathology diagnoses. It is almost impossible to establish an accurate diagnosis based only on morphology, and therefore this atlas is to assemble knowledge and points of view from two medical specialties, cardiology and forensic pathology. It has been designed as a practical visual reference that includes a summary of clinical characteristics, many high quality images and clear tables containing the main morphological characteristics of each disease.
