About this book

Each year over 400,000 people have a new onset of heart failure in the United States, adding to a current patient population of over 4.8 million Americans. Basics of Heart Failure takes a problem-solving approach to examining heart failure and to providing the reader with an up-to-date account of our knowledge in this area. Chapters on the diagnosis and therapy of heart failure emphasize data from recent multicenter trials.
