I am enthusiastic about this Oxford Textbook of Heart Failure, edited by McDonagh, Gardner, Clark and Dargie, that fills a much-needed gap in the literature. The book at once achieves a ready accessibility and an impressive degree of learning. It will be of interest to both the non heart failure cardiologist and to those cardiologists with particular expertise in the area alike, alongside all other physicians and clinicians involved in delivering heart failure care,across all health care domains. Each will bring their own knowledge to their reading but all have much to learn from this tome. If you buy no other textbook this year this should be the one, and then read it and read it and read it. Theresa A. McDonagh, Consultant Cardiologist, King's College Hospital, London, UK;Roy S.

All health care practitioners will encounter patients with heart failure, presenting either acutely or in need of chronic heart failure management. However with recent advances in medical therapy, the prognosis of the condition has improved dramatically so that whereas once heart failure was a pre-terminal diagnosis, now for many it is treatable. Taking the reader from an understanding of the basic mechanisms of heart failure through to an appreciation of the complexities of heart failure management and the remarkable improvements possible with good treatment, this definitive textbook is written by internationally renowned leaders in their field and comprehensively covers all aspects necessary to manage a patient with heart failure. In full colour throughout, containing over 300 illustrations, and supported by detailed referencing from the huge evidence ba Zusammenfassung Although the incidence of coronary heart disease is falling, its major complication, heart failure, is increasing in frequency.
