Acknowledgments
Completing a textbook the size and complexity of Braunwald's Heart Disease clearly does not occur in a vacuum. The tenth edition owes a great deal to a great many individuals. First and foremost, we would like to thank Dr. Eugene Braunwald for continuing to provide sage counsel at all stages of planning, writing, and editing of this book. We also want to thank the incredibly supportive staff at Elsevier, who enabled the editors to make improvements to the content and visual design of the book as it was being compiled. In this regard, we would like to recognize several Elsevier staff members for their forbearance and indefatigable assistance: Dolores Meloni, executive content strategist, for her boundless energy and enthusiasm for this book; Anne Snyder, senior content development specialist, for everything all of the time; and Louise King, project manager, whose attention to detail and flexibility were measureless.
The editors are also grateful to our colleagues from all over the world who have offered insightful suggestions to improve Heart Disease . We particularly wish to acknowledge the following individuals who have provided important feedback on numerous chapters: Shabnam Madadi, MD, Cardiac Imaging Center, Shahid Rajaei Heart Center, Tehran, Iran; Azin Alizadeh Asl, MD, and Anita Sadeghpour, MD, Tabriz University of Medical Sciences and Madani Heart Hospital, Tabriz, Iran; Leili Pourafkari, MD, Razi Hospital, Tabriz, Iran; Banasiak Waldemar, MD, Centre for Heart Disease, Military Hospital, Wroclaw, Poland; Carlos Benjamn Alvarez, MD, PhD, Sacr Coeur Institute, Buenos Aires, Argentina; and Elias B. Hanna, MD, Division of Cardiology, Louisiana State University, New Orleans, Louisiana.
