About this audiobook
Written by one of the country's leading experts on Heart Failure, this completely new book provides a personalized approach, information and advice, guiding you and your family towards getting optimal heart failure care. Heart failure still affects over 6 million Americans, fill our hospitals and consumes enormous healthcare resources in the US and worldwide. Much of the impact of heart failure is lack of process and coordination of care with patients firmly inserted as team members.
Dr. Silver says, "Strategic Heart Failure is a distillation of how my team and I helped patients and improved their outcomes for almost 4 decades. I want to share this approach directly with patients; they can help lead their healthcare, understand how decisions are made and improve the entire process of heart failure care."
Understanding of a few fundamentals of heart failure care, especially the metrics and language that guideline directed care is crafted from, patients and families can not only join their care team but become the CEO! This Strategic approach moves people with heart failure from patients to partners within a caring, coordinated and engaged teams.
Four prior editions of his books, Success with Heart Failure, elevated the understanding of the heart failure syndrome among thousands worldwide. His motivation for Strategic Heart Failure was his realization that his work on clinical trials, research, training other men and women professionals, serving on national guideline committees, being an Editor- in-Chief of a heart failure journal and even being one of the first Board Certified Fellows in Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant was not enough. Even having one of the finest and most dedicated teams was not enough. It is critical for:
The patient to be involved
The patient to be the team leader
The patient to speak the "Heart Failure" language and understand the rationale and process for every life impacting decision.
Included is:
Where to start even before deciding on drugs and devices?
Who should be on your team?
What is the Patient Profile and why it is essential for all team members to use?
What are the various classifications of heart failure and why it matters?
What does HFrEF, HFpEF and HFmEF mean and why does it matter?
Why the majority of patients with or at risk for heart failure may not know of their risk?
How to use published heart failure guidelines?
What other chronic diseases commonly overlap with heart failure?
What are biomarkers and how should they be used?
And much, much more...including information on COVID-19, SGLT2 inhibiting drugs, lifesaving medicines including ARNIs, and technologies you may not be aware of such as blood volume analysis.
And the truth is that Strategic Heart Failure is an approach that is of value to anyone with heart failure but also can be applied to any other chronic disease. So, let's get Strategic!
