Summary:

Management of Heart Failure has been conceived as a rapid but comprehensive review for practitioners of all persuasions involved in the management of patients with heart failure. Heart failure is a problem of epidemic proportions in all parts of the world. State of the art treatment may not be accessible to all, but an awareness of simple methods of diagnosis and treatment would assist in promoting a better global response to this epidemic.

This practical volume, written by a panel of world-renowned cardiology experts, focuses on the medical management of heart failure and outlines the causes, etiopathology, and mechanisms. The book details the common investigations, clinical profiles, and therapeutic paths required of all clinicians with these patients under their care.

This volume is essential reading for specialists who treat patients with heart failure or its risk factors, including cardiologists, emergency medicine physicians, critical care physicians, anesthesiologists, interventionalists, and cardiothoracic surgeons.
