PY - 2017 T2 - Cardiac Surgery in the Adult, 5e AB - Cardiovascular pathology defines the morphology and mechanisms of cardiovascular disease in individual patients and patient cohorts, both along the natural history of a disease and following surgery and interventions. The data derived through cardiovascular pathology thereby facilitate evidence-based choices among surgical or catheter-based interventional options and optimize short- and long-term patient management. Beyond implicit clinical benefit for individual patients, the discipline of cardiovascular pathology is a cornerstone of modern cardiovascular research and the preclinical development and clinical implementation of innovative drugs, devices, and other therapeutic options.
