Srdeční selhání pro klinickou praxi – Kautzner Josef (2023)

Chronic heart failure is a serious condition with high morbidity and mortality, and its prevalence in the Czech Republic and Europe is significantly increasing. The diagnosis and treatment of heart failure are therefore a global healthcare priority, leading to rapid development of new treatment approaches. The Cardiology Clinic of IKEM has extensive long-term experience in the diagnosis and treatment of various forms of heart failure. Based on many years of daily practice, a unique philosophy of approach to heart failure has developed, shaped by new studies and recommendations from the European Society of Cardiology. The second, completely revised and supplemented edition of the publication fully reflects current knowledge, guidelines, and modern treatment options. A number of new chapters have been included, such as the issues of valve defects, diabetes, and obesity in relation to heart failure, tactics of diuretic treatment, and lifestyle measures. The book addresses heart failure very comprehensively, from epidemiology, through imaging methods, genetic risks, and modern treatment to heart transplantation and post-transplant care. The book will appeal to cardiologists, internists, intensivists, general practitioners, as well as medical students and healthcare technicians.
