Diastology, 2nd Edition
Accounting for more than 40% of all heart failure problems diastolic heart failure is a complex; and often difficult diagnosis with rapidly evolving diagnostic management protocols. Diastology: Clinical Approach to Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction 2nd Edition brings you up to date and equips you to successfully diagnose; and manage even the most challenging incidences of diastolic heart failure and their comorbidities. It incorporates the latest guidelines for the diagnostic evaluation; of the patient with suspected or known diastolic dysfunction provides a comprehensive review of clinical conditions; associated with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and describes; the complementary role of imaging modalities and novel therapeutic approaches.
Key Features
-
- Keeps you current with recent extensive changes in the understanding of the mechanisms; of diastolic heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) that have resulted in dramatic changes in treatment guidelines.
-
- Covers the latest molecular, genetic, and cellular mechanisms behind diastolic heart failure as a basis for the latest clinical approaches; diagnosis, and treatment of common and uncommon pathological conditions such as hypertensive heart disease; cardiomyopathies, arterial and valvular diseases, pericardial diseases, congenital heart disease; diabetes mellitus, and metabolic syndrome.
