The objective of this text is to synthesise the research based
clinical treatment strategies that have been found to be most
effective in the clinical management of heart failure as a disease.
Incorporating recommendations from state of the art guidelines, the
text will comprehensively address both in-patient management of
acute exacerbations, and out-patient management to improve
survival, quality of life, and functional status.
The editors are active members of the American Heart Association
and influential councils on clinical cardiology and cardiovascular
medicine, and have assembled a team of contributors prominent in
the field of heart failure and transplantation. They aim, through
this publication, to translate the findings of recent research into
a practical clinical framework for physicians caring for patients
on a daily basis.
