This book is a guide to help clinicians caring for people with advanced heart failure develop a team approach for a group of people who, despite the increased awareness, remains disadvantaged in accessing support to help them live with, and support them as they die from, this serious illness.

Full of practical, evidence based advice, 'Heart Failure and Palliative Care' encourages a multidisciplinary team based approach. It stimulates joint working between primary care, cardiology and palliative care teams - raising awareness of the problems associated with supportive and palliative care for heart failure patients. The second edition has been significantly revised and updated with brand new chapters and sections on shared decision making, advance care planning, devices, ACP and non-LVSD failure. 'Heart Failure and Palliative Care' offers optimum care solutions vital to all palliative care professionals in a wide variety of hospital and community settings.
