ACUTE HEART FAILURE - WOLFGANG KRÜGER KARTONIER...

Acute heart failure is a potentially life threatening situation where correct  rapid therapy
can save lives. Information from the latest research and studies has been used to update this
text to bring the latest understanding of the pathophysiology together with a practical guide
to diagnosis and management using an evidenced based approach. Since the first edition of Acute
Heart Failure  this research has brought to light three important issues to be integrated into
a second edition. First  the so-called vascular heart failure has been identified as a common
and decisive mechanism provoking acute heart failure due to the coupling and interaction
between the heart (right and left heart) and the large vessel systems (aorta and pulmonary
artery). Second  the interaction and cross-talk between heart and kidneys  the so-called
'cardiorenal syndrome' has been identified as another feature of acute heart failure syndromes.
Third  we have new knowledge and updated points of views about the development of pulmonary
hypertension in patients suffering from heart failure  the group 2 of the classification system
of pulmonary hypertension. These are all covered in this second edition. This revision to a
seminal text is a valuable addition to any practitioner who treats patients with acute heart
failure and wants a deeper understanding of the condition.
