✦ Synopsis

The 19 chapters which comprise this text cover all aspects of heart failure, and are extremely readable and well-organized. The references selected for each chapter are highly sufficient and there is excellent coverage of all the pharmaceutical treatments, which have proven effective in the management of heart failure; moreover, there are chapters on the non-pharmacological management as well. The book instructs the physician in how to use the newer drugs, either singly or in combination and the clinical trials chapter gives the reader a balanced view of what is happening in research.
