Foreword
The care of acutely ill cardiac patients has evolved over the past 40 years through a series of landmark developments and milestones. Coronary intensive care began in the 1960s with the introduction of electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring for patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI). ECG monitoring coupled with the introduction of antiarrhythmic interventions (cardioversion, defibrillation, and lidocaine) led to a dramatic decrease in the mortality of patients with acute MI, largely through a reduction of in-hospital ventricular dysrhythmias. This was the first major milestone in the care of patients with acute MI. At this time, hemodynamic dysfunction and pump failure emerged as the leading causes of death in acute MI.
In the early 1970s, the introduction of bedside pulmonary artery catheterization, by Willie Ganz and Jeremy Swan at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, made possible accurate assessment of hemodynamic dysfunction in critically ill cardiac patients. This landmark development spawned a new era of coronary care that led to better assessment and management of pump dysfunction, stimulating the introduction of afterload-reducing therapy for heart failure. Around the same time, the concept of infarct size as a major determinant of ventricular dysfunction and prognosis began in the experimental laboratory, triggering a search for interventions to limit infarct size in experimental animals. The results of various therapies in this regard were inconsistent in the laboratory and in the clinical arena.
The next major milestone came in the late 1970s and early 1980s, when the role of coronary thrombosis as the proximate cause of acute MI became firmly established through the landmark study of Marcus DeWood, then a trainee in cardiology. With this observation and the elegant early experimental work of many investigators, the importance of timely reperfusion as a powerful method for infarct size limitation was recognized. The focus on reperfusion, initially with intracoronary and subsequently with intravenous thrombolysis and more recently with primary angioplasty, as a means of reducing infarct size and decreasing mortality revolutionized contemporary care of patients with developing MI.
This advance represented another major milestone in coronary care. All this stepwise progress over the years has led to a substantive and steadily declining mortality for patients with acute MI. The past several years have witnessed an explosion in our knowledge of vascular biology, atherogenesis, plaque disruption and thrombosis, and the concept of acute coronary syndromes. These concepts have led to dramatic improvements in our ability to diagnose and manage patients with unstable angina with potent antithrombotic strategies ranging from aspirin and heparin to platelet receptor antagonists and direct thrombin inhibitors to angioplasty and stent implantation.
Throughout this progress, coronary care units evolved from specialized areas catering to patients with acute ischemic syndromes to a place where we now take care of the ever-increasing population of patients with other critical cardiovascular illnesses, such as acute and severe chronic heart failure, chronic pulmonary hypertension, life-threatening cardiac dysrhythmias, aortic dissection, and other diagnoses. A modern coronary care unit is, in reality, a cardiac intensive care unit.
This second edition of Cardiac Intensive Care, presented in a new full-color design, edited by Allen Jeremias, MD, MSc, and David L. Brown, MD, provides a state-of-the-art compendium summarizing all of the progress that has been made in the diagnosis, assessment, and treatment of patients with critical cardiac illnesses over the past several years. The 52 chapters and 3 appendices are written by experienced authors who have made important contributions in their respective fields. Nine new chapters have been added in this new edition dealing with topics including quality assurance and improvement, physical examination, mechanical treatments for acute ST segment elevation MI, non–ST segment elevation MI, and management of post–cardiac surgery patients. The convenience of full-text online access at expertconsult.com is an added bonus.
The editors have captured the essence of what is the state-of-the-art in a rapidly evolving and dynamic field. The contents of this text provide a nice blend of pathophysiology and the more pragmatic issues of actual intensive cardiac care. In addition to dealing in detail with the issues of acute cardiac problems, this text provides a broader perspective by including many useful chapters that deal with critical care issues of a more general nature, such as airway and ventilator management, resuscitation, dialysis, and ultrafiltration. The editors and the authors are to be commended for having produced an up-to-date and useful treatise on cardiovascular critical care.
