Acute Heart Failure (eBook, PDF)

Beschreibung

For many years, acute heart failure has been considered a difficult to handle and hopeless syndrome. However, in recent years acute heart failure has become a growing area of study. This is the first book to cover extensively the diagnosis and management of this complex condition. It adopts a collaborative approach between world renowned cardiologists and intensivists. The book reflects the considerable amounts of new data reported and many new concepts which have been proposed in the last 3-4 years looking at the epidemiology, diagnostic and treatment of acute heart failure.

Rezensionen

"This book provides the most comprehensive coverage to date of most aspects of acute heart failure available in a single volume, and its interdisciplinary approach makes it valuable to physicians caring for patients with acute heart failure. ... By identifying our lack of knowledge, data, and carefully performed trials, the book puts researchers, clinicians, and health care authorities on notice to include acute heart failure as a topic of major concern in future research." -- (Helmut Drexler, The New England Journal of Medicine, September, 2008)
