For many years, there has been a great deal of work done on chronic congestive heart failure while acute heart failure has been considered a difficult to handle and hopeless syndrome. However, in recent years acute heart failure has become a growing area of study and this is the first book to cover extensively the diagnosis and management of this complex condition. The book reflects the considerable amounts of new data reported and many new concepts which have been proposed in the last 3-4 years looking at the epidemiology, diagnostic and treatment of acute heart failure.
Alexandre Mebazaa is based in Paris at the Hospital. He is a member of the joint European Society of Cardiology/European Society of Intensive Care Medicine Task Force on Acute Heart Failure.
Dr. Mihai Gheorghiade is the Associate Chief of the Division of Cardiology, Chief, Cardiology Clinical Service, Clinical Practice Director, and Professor of Medicine at Northwestern University in Chicago.
Faiez Zannad is Professor of Cardiology at INSERM-CHU, Nancy, France.
Joseph Parrillo, M.D., is the Director of the Cooper Heart Institute, and the Head of the division of Cardiovascular Disease and Critical Care Medicine at Cooper. He has authored more than 800 books, articles and abstracts in his career, and is considered one of the world's preeminent clinicians and researchers in cardiovascular disease/critical care medicine. Dr. Parrillo has received many accolades throughout his career, including the highest civilian honor for his work in heart disease and critical care medicine at the prestigious National Institutes of Health.
