Heart Failure: An Expert, Comprehensive Guide (en Inglés) - André Rodrigues Durães

This book was conceived as a comprehensive reference of current information for training specialists, as well as those looking to update. As a didactically modern book, the initial planning of its structure was guided by artificial intelligence. Topics and essential themes were placed in an order of hierarchical complexity which facilitates the progressive acquisition of knowledge. The work was developed by the collaboration of authors with notable knowledge on the subject, both in theory and in scientific production, and in patient care.

Chapter content focused on a clinical approach to treating heart failure, resulting from a broad variety of cardiovascular problems. The pathophysiological basis for the development and progression of heart failure was discussed. Chapters contain a flowchart or algorithm that summarizes and highlights key contents of that chapter. Finally, the most recent guidelines and protocols, including significant new updates to ACC, AHA, and HFSA guidelines were presented.

This innovative work is directed to cardiology physicians or professionals specialized in heart failure, heart transplantation and circulatory assistance. It may also be a useful resource to practitioners focused on clinical cardiology and cardiologists without specific training in heart failure, but who seek to increase their theoretical and practical knowledge on the subject. Other potential readers are specialist nurses in cardiology and heart failure, and even non-cardiologist physicians who have interest in this area.
