Clinical practice consensus guidelines for management of heart
failure are available from the American Heart Association/American
College of Cardiology, Heart Failure Society of America, Canadian
Cardiovascular Society, and European Society of Cardiology. The
guidelines from these organizations, based on evidence from
clinical trials and expert agreement, are largely concordant and
provide useful information for practitioners. Yet, the organization
of the guidelines may confound efforts by a practitioner to
determine which specific intervention, or combination of
interventions, are most appropriate for an individual patient. As
part of the Oxford American Cardiology Library, Heart Failure
utilizes the staging of heart failure proposed by the ACC/AHA
guidelines as a framework to develop a systematic approach for
diagnosis and treatment across a broad spectrum of clinical
presentations. Each chapter addresses a different stage in the
progression of heart failure and provides a patient-centered
description of the appropriate diagnostic and treatment options for
that setting. Each chapter also incorporates discussion of the
diagnosis and treatment options for both low ejection fraction
heart failure patients and preserved ejection fraction heart
failure patients, of which the latter group comprises at least 50%
of all heart failure cases in clinical practice. Heart Failure
restructures the information in the clinical guidelines to a format
that is more accessible and clinically useful to practitioners.
