Synopsis

Heart failure is a chronic condition with a poor prognosis, and it is becoming increasingly more common. It presents a frequent challenge to the hospital physician, general practitioner and cardiologist. This concise guide provides practical, up-to-date summaries on how to manage heart failure in everyday practice. In addition to providing an overview of its epidemiology, aetiology and pathophysiology, the book also contains focused reviews of both non-drug and drug therapies for the condition, including consideration of new drug classes in development.
Heart Failure in Practice will be of great value to primary and secondary healthcare teams, as well as to undergraduate and postgraduate students of medicine.

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

This is an excellent practical summary. While we wait for the National Institute for Clinical Excellence guidelines on heart failure, I would recommend this as a slim, and hence efficient, clinical manual to have on your bookshelf. (Journal of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh)

It provides a concise guide...each chapter is explained simply and thoroughly...the appendices give some useful practical guidance for the treatment and management of both acute and chronic heart failure, and suggest methods, pathways and protocols to establish a heart failure service, in both primary and secondary care. (The Pharmaceutical Journal)

The material is well researched and referenced and one cannot find fault with the quality of the information provided. (International Journal of Clinical Practice)

The heart failure book is excellent...the atrial fibrillation book is a little gem...These volumes are superb...a must have (Pharmaceutical Physician, 2002)

It is easy to read, the layout is clear and there are comprehensive diagrams and tables. This is an accessible resource for all clinicians seeing a basic overview of the management of heart failure. (British Journal of Cardiology, 2002)

Evidence-based facts, the qualitative judgment of the evidence, and therapeutic advice make the booklet excellent medical education for nonspecialists and a useful refresher for the specialist. (Gerontology)

This is a readable text that provides a clear understanding of heart failure, enabling the knowledge to be applied practically in the clinical environment. (Nursing Standard)

Accessible for both the expert and the generalist alike...a very useful introduction to the subject. (The Ulster Medical Journal)

The layout of this book, the style of writing, and the accurate and up-to-date nature of the information contained within it make this an essential book to have on personal bookshelves, particularly for all doctors, junior and senior, involved in the care of patients with heart failure. In addition, the book would serve as an excellent primer for the increasing number of heart failure specialist nurses. (Postgraduate Medical Journal)
