This concise practical guide is designed to facilitate the clinical decision-making process by
reviewing a number of cases and defining the various diagnostic and management decisions open
to clinicians. It is well illustrated and diverse in scope enabling the reader to obtain
relevant clinical information regarding both standard and unusual cases in heart failure in a
rapid easy to digest format. Clinical cases are a key component in modern medical education
assisting the trainee or recertifying clinician to work through unusual cases using best
practice techniques. Cardiology is a key discipline in this regard and is a highly visual
subject requiring the reader to describe often very subtle differences in the presentation of
patients and define accurately the diagnostic and management criteria on which to base their
clinical decision-making. This title therefore provides valuable assistance to trainees and
clinicians alike in evaluating patients and defining an appropriate procedure for each case
covered.
