Review: This book provides a single-source guide to the care of patients with heart failure. It begins with an overview of the present heart failure population and looks at the anticipated growth as the population ages. The authors look at the causes of advanced heart disease, and provide an algorithm for newly-diagnosed patients to guide the assessment of potentially reversible causes of the disease. The book is in seven parts covering: etiology and epidemiology; medical management; device therapy; surgical therapy; psychosocial issues; research; and paediatric therapy.
