Congestive Heart Failure Pathophysiology, Diagnosis, and Comprehensive Approach to Management

Congestive Heart Failure Pathophysiology, Diagnosis, and Comprehensive Approach to Management / edited by Jeffrey D. Hosenpud, Barry H. Greenberg.

This book is the first to approach the field of congestive heart failure as a true subspecialty of cardiology and cardiovascular surgery. The text discusses the entire field of congestive heart failure: the basic pathophysiologic mechanisms; the underlying diseases; the effects of heart failure on t...
