Cardiac rehabilitation is of key importance to ameliorate long-term morbidity and mortality resulting from cardiac intervention. However, much of the current literature is dense, unwelcoming and academic in style and format. For those physicians understanding the scope of cardiac rehabilitation there is a need to distill the guidelines and various management options available to them into a concise practical manual. Up until now, all references have looked at the general options, but there is definite need to investigate the practicalities of individual patient groups.
This book fulfills the need for practical guidance among all professionals involved in the management of these patients, from residents and fellows of cardiology and internal medicine, surgical teams, physiotherapy professionals, critical care physicians and family medicine practitioners.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
From the reviews: "This is a practical and concise, literature-based resource guide to cardiac rehabilitation. ... This manual is aimed specifically at health professionals who are, or will be, engaged with a patient population in need of cardiac rehabilitation, such as cardiologists, physiotherapists, critical care physicians, internal medicine fellows and cardiology residents, and family physicians. ... It is clear, concise, and detailed oriented. The up-to-date references and case studies provide readers with the latest in treatment options and approaches for unique and common cardiac diseases."
