From Hypertension to Heart Failure

This manual covers aspects of the treatment of hypertension, arrhythmias, heart failure and coronary artery disease. The topics include pathophysiological findings, the theoretical background of pharmacological treatment, results of various studies, and practical guidelines for treatment. Case reports should make the book applicable for a broad range of general internists. The therapy of heart failure with beta blockers is one of the most controversially discussed topics in cardiovascular medicine.
