Heart Failure (Oxford Specialist Handbooks in Cardiology)

Heart Failure (Oxford Specialist Handbooks in Cardiology)

by Roy S. Gardner

Heart failure is a rapidly evolving subspecialty of cardiology. With advances in medical therapy, prognosis has improved dramatically—transforming what was once often a pre-terminal diagnosis into a treatable condition for many patients. Yet some remain symptomatic and at high risk despite maximal therapy.

This new edition of Heart Failure provides a comprehensive guide to the diagnosis, investigation, and treatment of patients with heart failure, highlighting the latest evidence-based approaches. Part of the Oxford Specialist Handbooks in Cardiology, the chapters are structured to follow the patient journey, offering clear, concise, and objective guidance for the modern multidisciplinary management of this complex syndrome.

Ideal for trainee and consultant cardiologists, general physicians, care-of-the-elderly specialists, cardiothoracic surgeons, primary care doctors, pharmacists, and specialist nurses, this handbook equips healthcare professionals with the knowledge needed to deliver optimal, evidence-based care for patients with heart failure.
