Description
Offering comprehensive, authoritative coverage of mechanical circulatory support (MCS),
this fully revised companion
to Braunwald’s Heart Disease provides the clinically relevant information you need to
effectively use this therapy
to treat and manage end-stage heart failure. New editors and authors – experts in both
cardiology and cardiovascular
surgery – bring you fully up to date with the newest technology and devices, as well as
basic science, clinical
applications, adverse event monitoring and management, socioeconomic implications, future
directions, and more.
Discusses the management of common patient problems, highlighting cautions and outcomes,
as well as pathophysiology
and rationale for treatment.
