Description

Fifteen to 20 years ago, physicians more or less treated everybody the same way with two or three pills, and that's all they had to offer. The clock was ticking while doctors waited until patients were so sick they needed heart transplants. The medical landscape is completely different today. Now doctors methodically dissect cases of heart failure; they figure out the underlying issues. It's critical to have a proper diagnosis, but it is equally important to determine the cause of heart failure. Not all stories about patients with heart failure have happy endings. But many do. Throughout this book, readers will find case studies about patients who triumphed over their diagnosis. Whether it's the patient, a family member, or a friend confronting heart failure, this book can helps show the way through the diagnosis and treatment.
