Case-Based Device Therapy for Heart Failure

This book provides a comprehensive practical guide to the plethora of devices that have been developed to support the failing heart. It features easy to follow clinically relevant guidance on mechanical devices used for improving cardiac electrical conduction and cardiac output. Chapters cover indications and implant considerations for the implantable cardioverter defibrillator and cardiac resynchronization therapy devices and hemodynamic monitoring in the intensive care unit.

Case-Based Device Therapy for Heart Failure describes how to properly use a range of available devices to treat heart failure. Thanks to its multidisciplinary authorship, it is a valuable resource for practising and trainee heart failure cardiologists, electrophysiologists and cardiac surgeons.

Covers a range of devices with applications for heart failure function, including those that monitor hemodynamics, rhythm management and mechanical circulatory support

Focuses on cutting edge device based therapeutic approaches to heart failure and cardiogenic shock

Details the subject from a multi-disciplinary perspective including those of cardiologists, electrophysiologists and cardiac surgeons
