    Summary: This book is a fully updated and revised second edition of a highly successful text in which a new concept of knowledge mining, based on explication and transfer of interventional knowledge of experts, has been implemented. The dedicated training program that is set out will serve the needs of all interventional operators, whether cardiologists, vascular surgeons, vascular specialists, or radiologists, enabling them to achieve a consistent expert level across the entire broad spectrum of catheter-based interventions. Operator skills - and in particular decision-making and strategic skills - are the most critical factors for the outcome of catheter-based cardiovascular interventions. Currently, such skills are commonly developed by the empirical trial and error method only. The explicit teaching, training, and learning approach adopted in this book permits the rapid transfer of interventional knowledge and enables individual operators to negotiate steep learning curves and acquire complex skills in a highly efficient manner. It will thereby offer invaluable assistance in meeting successfully the challenges of modern cardiovascular care.

    A decrease in H3-dopamine uptake was demonstrated in the blood platelets of 22 hepatic encephalopathy (HE) patients when compared to that of patients with liver cirrhosis, but without HE, and controls. There was a direct correlation between the stage of HE and the decrease in H3-dopamine uptake. As blood platelets have characteristics similar to neurons which contain amines, they have been proposed as a model for the study of amine metabolism in neurological, as well as liver diseases. A defective dopamine uptake by the HE platelets suggests that a similar biochemical derangement is, also, present in the nerve cells of the dopaminergic system. This could account for the clinical evidence of extrapiramidal dysfunction and the arousal effect of levodopa in HE. Platelets from 10 cirrhosis, but HE-free, patients had a dopamine uptake which was intermediate between the HE patients and controls. When octopamine was added at the same concentrations as in serum of HE patients, the blood platelets from five controls showed a decrease in dopamine uptake proportional to the concentration of octopamine added. Octopamine may impair dopamine uptake by platelets from HE patients.
