This book covers ACS and Heart Failure, the chapters represent the most current, up to date and knowledgeable content on the topic available. It is written by the worlds most respected leaders in biomarkers, with a majority emphasis on what clinicians need to know.The Editors and their contributors have provided algorithms, annotated case discussions and caveats. They cover biomarkers to predict risk of heart disease, biomarkers of cardiorenal disease , and conclude with a section on new and emerging biomarkers. It be genuinely helpful and practical to those in the field, including not just people working in the field, but nurses, doctors, etc who practice medicine in the clinic, the emergency department and the hospital.​

Cardiac Biomarkers describes the most recent developments in the field of biomarkers, providing best practice and current guidelines. It also discusses how these guidelines may alter in the future. With contributions from internationally-based clinicians and scientists, this book includes almost 100 detailed images and illustrations. Topics covered include: Markers of Cardiac Arrest, Markers of Cardiac Ischemia, Natriuretic Peptides for Heart Failure, Biomarkers in Cardio Renal Disease and Future Developments.

Heart failure is a serious condition caused by the heart failing to pump enough blood around the body at the right pressure. It usually occurs because the heart muscle has become too weak or stiff to work properly, most commonly caused by heart attack, high blood pressure or cardiomyopathy (heart disease).This book is a comprehensive guide to heart failure for clinicians. Divided into six sections, the book begins with emergency management, then discusses heart failure in both in-patient and out-patient hospital care. A complete chapter is dedicated to the role of biomarkers at different stages of heart failure.Special issues such as diabetes management and heart failure, geographical variations, and chronic heart failure in geriatric patients, are discussed in depth. The final sections examine advanced heart failure and the diagnosis and management of cardiomyopathies.Written by experienced authors from the University of California and the University of Athens, this manual includes more than 175 images and illustrations to enhance learning.Key pointsComprehensive guide to heart failureCovers role of biomarkers at different stages of heart failureComplete section dedicated to diagnosis and management of cardiomyopathiesExperienced author team from USA and Greece

This book provides the most recent advances in the management of heart failure.Presented in a “how to” approach, each chapter presents an algorithm that summarises the topic in discussion. The comprehensive text covers all aspects of heart failure treatment, from emergency care, through to long term care and management of complications.Authored by experts renowned in the field, led by Alan Maisel from University of California, this highly useful reference is enhanced by clinical illustrations and figures to assist learning.Key PointsComprehensive guide to latest advances in management of heart failureEach chapter includes algorithm summarising the topicCovers all aspects of heart failureAuthored by recognised experts in the field
