Reviews
From the reviews:
"Updated ACC/AHA guidelines and landmark trials provide the framework for this concise overview of heart failure from management of risk factors to transplantation and palliative care. … This is intended for anyone involved in the management of patients with acute and chronic heart failure and serves as a valuable resource for students, residents, fellows, and staff who may encounter these patients. … This is a useful all-in-one resource for students, healthcare personnel, and any physicians involved in the care of patients with heart failure." (Omar Shams, Doody’s Review Service, October, 2009)
