Providing optimal care for heart failure patients is a complexchallenge that requires cooperation and coordination acrossmultiple disciplines. Now, you can apply the successful techniquespioneered at the Cleveland Clinic, which are carefully explored andexplained in this text.
Drs. McCarthy and Young draw on their experience to show how aninterdisciplinary team works together to:
* arrive at a proper diagnosis
* initiate medical therapy
* make decisions regarding the best use of percutaneoustherapies, surgical therapies, electrical therapies, and the use ofmechanical circulatory support devices and transplantation.
Throughout the book, they present the most updated evidence forboth drug trials and surgical trials. They emphasize the benefitsof performing the most complete surgery that is practical, thencontinuing medical therapy. Each chapter focuses on one aspect oftreatment, but the authors recognize that the best way to manage anindividual patient is often to adapt a variety of differenttherapies. They state their opinions clearly, identifying whichpart of care is science and which is art.
Heart Failure: A Combined Medical and Surgical Approachis a true collaboration that helps you identify the most effectivestrategies - operative interventions, pacing and ICDtreatment, new diagnostic tools, and pharmacotherapeuticdevelopments - and implement them for your patients.
