For many years, there has been a great deal of work done on chronic
congestive heart failure while acute heart failure has been
considered a difficult to handle and hopeless syndrome. However, in
recent years acute heart failure has become a growing area of study
and this is the first book to cover extensively the diagnosis and
management of this complex condition. The book reflects the
considerable amounts of new data reported and many new concepts
which have been proposed in the last 3-4 years looking at the
epidemiology, diagnostic and treatment of acute heart failure.
