    Summary: This book details the advances in cardiac MRI that have enabled quantitative tissue characterization of the myocardium using myocardial and blood T1 measurements, which have enabled reliable detection of diffuse pathological processes in both the cardiomyocytes and the interstitial cells of the myocardium. Evaluation of the native myocardial and interstitial fibrosis, and measurement of the extracellular volume fraction has allowed an unprecedented opportunity to elucidate the pathology, diagnosis and prognosis of cardiovascular disease. T1-Mapping in Myocardial Disease: Principles and Applications reviews a wide spectrum of significant cardiovascular disease and provides relevant guidance for the clinical implementation of this innovative technique. The specific topics covered include principles of T1-mapping in cardiovascular disease and the role of T1-mapping in hypertensive heart disease and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, cardiotoxicity from cancer treatment, cardiacfibrosis, left ventricular hypertrophy in aortic stenosis, peri-infarct injury in ischemic cardiomyopathy, and stem cell therapy. This comprehensive coverage of the utility of T1-mapping in cardiovascular diseases will greatly appeal to the entire cardiovascular medicine and imaging communities.

    The effect of different drugs on the acid-base condition and gases of arterial blood was studied by Astrup's micromethod in 124 tests in patients with circulatory insufficiency. Cardiac glycosides correct the moderate decrease in blood oxygen tension and respiratory alkalosis in patients with left-ventricular failure. Morphine has a good arresting effect in attacks of cardiac asthma and corrects or reduces the respiratory alkalosis typical of the disease but at the same time reduces the saturation of blood with oxygen. The use of oxygen together with morphine removes this unfavourable effect of the drugs. Euphylline often intensifies respiratory alkalosis, while its effect on oxygen tension in the blood and its saturation with oxygen is poorly pronounced and diversely directed. Lasics causes a favourable correcting effect on the acid-base condition and oxygenation of blood in pulmonary edema marked by metabolic acidosis.
