editore: Clinical Publishing,an imprint of Atlas Medical Publishing Ltd
pagine: 320
"Therapeutic Strategies in Heart Failure" is a pragmatic textbook written by active clinicians and investigators that is sharply focused on what the doctor needs to know to achieve the best possible outcome in patients with heart failure. The authors have incorporated all of the most recent definitive trial data, in a user friendly format, with frequent summary boxes and highlighted points of emphasis. The book begins with the prevention of heart failure, discusses best application of standard therapies, describes progress with current cutting edge treatments, and anticipates future therapeutic interventions. To complete the thought process, the final section deals with the avant garde issues in heart failure - the use of registry data, acute decompensated heart failure, device therapy, mechanical support for failing ventricles and a candid discussion of palliative care. The busy clinician is likely to find that "Therapeutic Strategies in Heart Failure" provides a useful template to optimize outcomes in the management of heart failure.

editore: Informa Healthcare
pagine: 424
Appreciation of the importance of platelets and coagulation factors in therothrombotic events has led to the widespread use and continuous development of new antithrombotic agents. This field of cardiovascular pharmacology has advanced at a very rapid rate. Understanding the basic principles of atherothrombosis as well as the pharmacological agents currently available or under clinical development are key to the successful treatment of patients with atherothrombotic manifestations, particularly coronary artery disease. Clinical Guide to the Use of Antithrombotic Drugs in Coronary Artery Disease presents the work of internationally renowned contributors who examine pharmacological principles, indications for use, and pitfalls of antithrombotic agents most commonly utilized in treating patients with coronary artery disease. They also describe special clinical scenarios which may call for a multi-pharmacological approach or which demonstrate various undesired effects of antithrombotic agents.

Heart Failure

Heart failure is an important and ever expanding sub-specialty of cardiology. Many health care professional bodies are now developing specialist expertise in heart failure. This is true for cardiologists in training, consultant cardiologists, care of the elderly and general physicians, cardiothoracic surgeons, primary care doctors, pharmacists and specialist nurses. With advances in medical therapy, the prognosis of the condition has improved dramatically. Whereas once heart failure was a pre-terminal diagnosis, now for many it is treatable. However, some patients remain symptomatic and at high risk of death despite maximal medical therapy. These patients can benefit from a range of novel device therapies. Of course for those who remain symptomatic despite optimal treatment, cardiac transplantation remains an option. This book comprehensively covers all aspects necessary to manage a patient with heart failure. It gives simple, clear advice on the diagnosis, investigation and treatment options available, highlighting the current evidence-base.The chapters provide concise and objective information to guide all health care professionals involved in modern day multi-disciplinary management of the syndrome.
The book is set out logically to mirror the patient journey in heart failure. This book is the first practical manual of heart failure management that addresses the needs of all the health care professionals involved. The ultimate aim of this book is to facilitate the practice of optimal evidence-based management for heart failure patients.
