Given the ever-advancing development of new pharmacological agents to treat heart conditions, clinicians could use a practical report on newly available treatments. The authors here address that need, profiling every pharmacological therapy in use to date for the treatment of heart failure. Renowned as experts in the field, these prominent academicians give incisive commentary on the state-of-the-art in heart failure, as their text is based on their personal experience with these drugs. Heart Failure Updates is a practical, information-packed reference that is essential for cardiologists, cardiac surgeons and associated specialists, particularly clinical biochemists, clinical pharmacologists, and epidemiologists.
