Keeps you current with recent developments in the field, improved patient management strategies, and new drug therapies and implantable devices that will make a difference in your patients’ lives and in your practice. Braunwald’s Heart Failure Companion also has an on-line version that is updated with late-breaking clinical trials, "Hot Off the Press" commentary and Focused Reviews that are relevant to heart failure.
"Heart Failure will be of enormous interest and value to clinicians, investigators, and trainees who are concerned with enriching their understanding of and caring for the ever growing number of patients with this condition. We are proud of this important companion to Heart Disease: A Textbook of Cardiovascular Medicine." - Foreword by: Eugene Braunwald, Douglas P. Zipes, Peter Libby and Robert O. Bonow, Feb 2015
