Summary |
"Using an evidence based approach the authors, who are heart failure specialists, aim to present a detailed overview of the syndrome of heart failure. They describe the causes, pathophysiology, investigation, diagnosis and treatment (pharmacological and non-pharmacological) of heart failure with emphasis on recently-published evidence. The book is illustrated throughout using colour photographs and diagrams, radiographic images, electrocardiograms and echocardiograms." "A reference source and an educational support, A Colour Handbook of Heart Failure is of interest to cardiologists and general physicians in training, general practitioners, cardiac technicians and nurses, and senior medical students."--BOOK JACKET |
