About this book
Leading practitioners from the University of Pennsylvania review all aspects of heart failure diagnosis and management, with a particular emphasis on office-based/ambulatory care. Following the problem-solving steps used in an office-based practice, the authors provide extensive coverage of the presenting signs and symptoms of heart failure, as well as the tools with which to evaluate left-ventricular function, hemodynamics, and exercise performance. They also discuss the complex, evidenc-based therapeutic options for treating patients with dyspnea, fatigue, or edema, following the new ACC/AHA heart failure guidelines that are specifically and directed at targeted symptoms.
Reviews
"The book is well referenced and up-to-date. The editors are leading heart failure specialists who have participated in multiple major clinical studies in establishing different treatments in heart failure. Jessup also sits on the ACC/AHA panel on developing chronic heart failure management and heart transplantation guidelines...The book is best suited for primary care physicians, nurses, and students of a broad range of healthcare professions, who take part in caring for patients with heart failure. This book serves as an overview as well as a condensed first source that links us to more in-depth heart failure resources." - The Annals of Pharmacotherapy
