For many years, there has been a great deal of work done on chronic congestive heart failure while 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. There has been considerable amounts of new data reported and many new concepts have been proposed in the last 3-4 years looking at the epidemiology, diagnostic and treatment of acute heart failure.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
From the reviews:
"This book provides the most comprehensive coverage to date of most aspects of acute heart failure available in a single volume, and its interdisciplinary approach makes it valuable to physicians caring for patients with acute heart failure. . By identifying our lack of knowledge, data, and carefully performed trials, the book puts researchers, clinicians, and health care authorities on notice to include acute heart failure as a topic of major concern in future research." (Helmut Drexler, The New England Journal of Medicine, September, 2008)
