Kurzbeschreibung
Eighty percent of heart failure patients are over 65 years old, and the majority of these are over 75, yet age-related treatment and management problems have been largely ignored in the literature. A Practical Guide to Heart Failure in Older People: Treatment and Management meets the need for a concise, comprehensive account of the epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, management, and end-of-life care of elderly patients with heart failure. Geriatricians, cardiologists, general hospital physicians, family practitioners, and other members of the patient care team will find this concise reference an ideal source of practical guidance when caring for this growing patient population.
