Heart Failure A Clinician's Guide to Ambulatory Diagnosis and Treatment

Leading practitioners from the University of Pennsylvania review all aspects of heart failure diagnosis and management, with a particular emphasis on office-based/ambulatory care. Following the problem-solving steps used in an office-based practice, the authors provide extensive coverage of the presenting signs and symptoms of heart failure, as well as the tools with which to evaluate left-ventricular function, hemodynamics, and exercise performance. They also discuss the complex, evidenc-based therapeutic options for treating patients with dyspnea, fatigue, or edema, following the new ACC/AHA heart failure guidelines that are specifically and directed at targeted symptoms.Jessup, Mariell L. is the author of 'Heart Failure A Clinician's Guide to Ambulatory Diagnosis and Treatment' with ISBN 9781588290410 and ISBN 1588290417.
