Summary
"The second edition of this highly acclaimed text has been thoroughly revised to incorporate advances in the study and treatment of heart failure. The goal of this text remains to describe the pathophysiology, molecular mechanisms, clinical manifestations, and therapy of heart failure in an integrated, reader-friendly manner that is accessible to clinicians, basic scientists, nurses, medical students, and other health care providers." "Heart Failure helps you to gain comprehension-building insights and expand your knowledge of symptomatic and asymptomatic patients, patients with low and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction, patients with decompensated heart failure and those with end-stage disease. The text describes a full range of management strategies, from diet and exercise to heart transplant and ventricular assist devices. Plus, more than 100 illustrations have been created, mostly by the authors, to complement the text."--BOOK JACKET.
