Heart Failure

Heart failure is a long relationship, and most of it is conducted by the physician who admitted the patient rather than by a specialist clinic. These references follow that arc: recognising failure when the presentation is fatigue or abdominal swelling, separating preserved from reduced ejection fraction, starting and titrating the four drug groups against real blood pressure and renal function, managing decompensation overnight, and deciding when transfer is genuinely necessary. Written for practice without an on-site failure service or device backup. Widely used are Heart Failure Made Simple and the guide for general physicians; combined sets appear in reference bundles.
