A Practical Guide to Heart Failure in Older People

About this ebook
The problems associated with treating heart failure in older patients are more diverse and complex than in those who are younger. The diagnosis in older patients is easily overlooked and as they were excluded from most heart failure treatment trials there has been a reluctance to treat them optimally (fewer than 20% are prescribed conventional medicines). They have multiple co-morbidities which are poorly managed, they are repeatedly hospitalised, and suffer social isolation.
These important age-related treatment and management problems have been largely ignored and this book aims to redress the balance. It provides a concise, comprehensive account of the epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, management and end-of-life care of elderly patients with heart failure, based on published studies.
A Practical Guide to Heart Failure in Older People is essential reading for geriatricians, cardiologists, general hospital physicians, family practitioners and specialist nurses.
• Specifically addresses the particular needs of the elderly, a largely ignored group who constitute the majority of patients with heart failure
• Presents a concise yet comprehensive account of the evidence relating to the diagnosis, treatment and management of heart failure in this population
• Improves awareness of the various roles within the management team
