Beschreibung
For many years, acute heart failure has been considered a difficult to handle and hopeless syndrome. However, in recent years acute heart failure has become a growing area of study. This is the first book to cover extensively the diagnosis and management of this complex condition. It adopts a collaborative approach between world renowned cardiologists and intensivists. The book reflects the considerable amounts of new data reported and many new concepts which have been proposed in the last 3-4 years looking at the epidemiology, diagnostic and treatment of acute heart failure.
