Heart Failure in Congenital Heart Disease:

This book provides both an evidence base and practical recommendations for the treatment of patients with congenital heart disease. With sections written by leaders in the field, it includes information on sequelae following surgery including heart failure.

This book will provide both an evidence base and practical recommendations for the treatment of patients with congenital heart disease. It will be a resource to all health care providers, including pediatric cardiologists, pediatric intensivists, pediatric heart surgeons, fetal specialists, maternal fetal medicine specialists, neonatologists, nurses, advanced practice nurses, in addition to trainees in the field.

It will summarize world knowledge on the topic of heart failure in patients with congenital heart disease. It will provide an in depth analysis of the current methods of diagnosis and treatment of heart failure. Now that surgical results are at record success rates, more patients with congenital heart disease are surviving, and thus at risk for sequelae from their disease, including heart failure.

It will provide evidence based and practical recommendations to the practitioner for the management of heart failure signs and symptoms.

State-of-the-art, in depth analysis of the current methods of diagnosis and treatment of heart failure in patients with congenital heart disease Includes in-depth information on sequelae following surgery including heart failure Sections written by leaders in the field Each aspect of heart failure in the patient with congenital heart disease presented broken down by age and disease status Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

Klappentext
Survival outcomes for patients with congenital heart disease have greatly improved over the last two decades. Because of better and longer survival in these patients who often have abnormal ventricular morphology, the incidence of heart failure in this patient population has also increased. Although there is a significant evidence base for the treatment of heart failure in adults, the evidence base for treating children and adults with congenital heart disease is significantly less. Heart Failure in Congenital Heart Disease: From Fetus to Adult describes the current state-of-the-art and in-depth analysis of the topic of heart failure in patients with congenital heart disease. In this rapidly growing population, this book provides both evidence-based and practical recommendations for the management of heart failure signs and symptoms. Each aspect of heart failure in the patient with congenital heart disease has been presented, making this the ideal reference for all cardiologists and pediatric cardiologists who are required to manage these patients.
