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.
"This book is a fantastic resource for anyone working with patients with heart failure. It will facilitate the integration of palliative care into heart failure management …"
—British Journal of Hospital Medicine
The book includes chapters on the syndrome of advanced heart failure—optimal therapy, prognosis, symptom relief, supportive care, communication, the need for palliative care, and how to improve terminal care.
Good stuff.
