A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Heart failure is a growing epidemic and one of the leading causes of hospitalisations and death throughout the world. Because of its prevalence and associated mortality and morbidity, there has been, throughout the years, the need to better identify the different forms of the disease to gain a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms and the interplay with the different co-morbidities in order to better direct treatments. The increasing incidence and prevalence of chronic heart failure and our improving ability to identify its main pathophysiological mechanisms has been paralleled by remarkable improvements in medical and device therapy. The developments of new pharmacological and device therapies that have improved the prognosis of patients require a constant update on the overall management strategies of patients with heart failure. International guidelines for the diagnosis and management of heart failure have been recently updated with the most comprehensive and clinically oriented ones, the 2016 ESC/HFA guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic heart failure, just recently released. This book covers the recent advances in the diagnosis and the management of this rapidly growing cardiovascular subspecialty and provides an update on guideline-based management of heart failure. Edited by renowned international experts, it is the most updated text on heart failure and a central resource for clinicians caring for patients with heart failure. It offers practical guidance that goes beyond the dry tables of the official guidelines and describes the background , the uncertainties and the newer treatments on the verge of practical implementation. Device therapies for heart failure with and without mechanical dys-synchrony are constantly in development and most of them have led to a significant improvement in the prognosis of patients with heart failure. This book provides basic knowledge about the modern device management of chronic heart failure and its guideline-based indications. The book also covers practical aspects of the management of patients with heart failure and provides a detailed resource for cardiologists and clinicians. With a strong focus on the medical management of chronic heart failure it is a key tool for optimally managing patients with complex co-morbidities.
