The Social Security Administration (SSA) uses a screening tool called the Listing of Impairments to identify claimants who are so severely impaired that they cannot work at all and thus immediately qualify for benefits. In this report, the IOM makes several recommendations for improving SSA's capacity to determine disability benefits more quickly and efficiently using the Listings.

One of the most time-consuming tasks in clinical medicine is seeking the opinions of specialist colleagues. There is a pressure not only to make referrals appropriate but also to summarize the case in the language of the specialist. This book explains basic physiologic and pathophysiologic mechanisms of cardiovascular disease in a straightforward manner, gives guidelines as to when referral is appropriate, and, uniquely, explains what the specialist is likely to do. It is ideal for any hospital doctor, generalist, or even senior medical student who may need a cardiology opinion, or for that ma.

Practical Management of Pediatric Cardiac Arrhythmias offers a useful source of current, practical information on the diagnosis and management of arrhythmias in children, and is intended for all caregivers, from novice to expert, who treat children, adolescents, and young adults with arrhythmias. It includes succinct information on implications for clinicians and patient and family considerations, with precise "how to" information regarding specific treatment modalities and management techniques. A feature unique to this book is an exploration of the nuances that make cardiac arrhythmias in this population different from those in adults. The editors and authors are all internationally recognized experts in the field, and each section is completely self-contained and can be used separately to solve a specific problem. Addressing itself to all healthcare professionals who deal with the increasing population of pediatric, adolescent, and young adult patients with arrhythmias, this book will prove a valuable asset to any healthcare provider working in the fields of cardiology, electrophysiology, and pediatrics.

This specialized reference textbook presents the physiological and pathophysiological aspects of cardiovascular diseases affecting the athlete population. The first part is a systematic explanation of the non-invasive and invasive diagnostic techniques used in cardiology. The second part examines the clinical approach to a great majority of the cardiological problems that involve the athlete population. All of the fields discussed in this textbook are treated from physiological and pathophysiological viewpoints, including the clinical and legal implications of athletes affected by diagnosed or unsuspected cardiovascular diseases. As such, this book is a particularly useful contribution to the literature for health care professionals, especially cardiologists (also fellows) and sports medicine physicians, providing them with the knowledge to make critical decisions regarding eligibility, thus preventing tragic events, and especially sudden death the most crucial event in sport.

This text provides a well organized description of how to use electrophysiologyin the management of patients with cardiac arrhythmias. The format is extremely accessible to the non-electrophysiologist, which allows a more approachable read. For each of the major arrhythmias, there is an overview, followed by additional chapters describing current and innovative management approaches. It also discusses mechanisms and basic science related to arrhythmias. This book focuses on patient management, which makes it a useful resource to clinicians. Each chapter strongly emphasizes data from recent clinical trials, and is aimed at non-electrophysiologists, and cardiologists.

Cardiac Problems in Pregnancy offers clinicians the most detailed and comprehensive guide to diagnosing and managing pregnancy-associated cardiovascular diseases currently available. Covering a wide spectrum of congenital and acquired cardiovascular conditions, its extensive contents examine diseases of the heart with an expert awareness of the implications of pregnancy and the attendant physiological changes it brings. Such guidance is vitally required in an age in which congenital and acquired heart diseases are the leading causes of non-obstetrical maternal morbidity and mortality. Featuring 36 new or extensively revised chapters, this fourth edition of the book complements coverage of the latest research and clinical advances with a complete and up-to-date bibliography of literature on pregnancy in women with cardiovascular conditions. It also serves as a practical, step-by-step companion for those caring for heart disease patients during pregnancy, labor, and the post-partum period. Contents include: Coverage of all elements of maternal cardiology Newly written chapters featuring fresh research and data Guidance on performing risk assessments and interventions both prior to and during gestation Explanations of a range of diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to cardiovascular disease in pregnant patients Drawing on expertise from across the fields of cardiovascular medicine, obstetrics, anesthesiology, cardiac surgery, pharmacology, and clinical science, Cardiac Problems in Pregnancy is designed to give invaluable support to all medical professionals involved in maximizing the safety and success of cardiologically complex pregnancies.
