    Summary: The book systematically describes the clinical and scientific aspects of cardiovascular calcification. Chapters detail the mechanisms associated with arterial and valve calcification, relevant risk factors, pathophysiology and the latest therapeutic techniques. Recent diagnostic technological developments including how computed tomography (CT) scanning can be utilized along with Agatston score to quantify coronary arterial calcification when investigating whether a patient for sub-clinical atherosclerosis are covered. The correlation with the presence of arterial calcification and extent of coronary stenosis is also explored. Cardiovasular Calcification details relevant aspects of the basic science and reviews the latest pathological and therapeutic techniques used in treating patients with cardiovascular calcification. It is therefore an essential resource for practicing cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, vascular specialists and radiologists.

    The classification, clinical course, etiology and treatment of chronic hepatitis are discussed. The clinical manifestations of chronic hepatitis are of limited diagnostic use. Diagnosis must be made by liver biopsy. The disease is classified as chronic persistent or chronic active hepatitis. The prognosis for chronic persistent hepatitis is excellent, and no treatment is required. Chronic active hepatitis may progress to cirrhosis and is associated with a poor prognosis if untreated. Recognized causes of chronic active hepatitis are hepatitis-B virus infection, post-transfusion hepatitis not associated with hepatitis-B virus, and certain drugs. For drug-induced hepatitis, discontinuation of the medication is indicated. For other types of chronic active hepatitis the recommended treatment is prednisone 10 mg and azathioprine 50 mg daily.
