Download or read book Chronic Heart Failure written by Herbert Viefhues and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A. Schneeweiss Although the syndrome of congestive heart failure has been recognized many years ago, the approach for its evaluation and treatment has until recently, been partial and 'fragmentary'. Various aspects of the disease have been treated according to the evaluation tools and therapeutic measures available at each period. This approach resulted in some of the greatest achievements in the management of heart failure but also left many aspects neglected and also resulted in several paradoxes. Examples of the achievements and limitations of the 'fragmentary' ap proach are the use of diuretics and hemodynamic measurements. The devel opment of diuretics has provided us with an important tool for helping pa tients whose predominant problem was edema. The success of diuretics masked the fact that their use may often be hemodynamically unsound and that they may reduce cardiac output. Only many years after their introduction has the use of diuretics found its appropriate place. Hemodynamic monitoring has gone via the same path. The great contribu tion of continuous bedside hemodynamic measurements to understanding heart failure resulted in over-usage by many clinicians, who found themselves treating hemodynamic charts rather than patients. It took almost a decade to realize that hemodynamic improvement, even in the chronic setting, does not necessarily mean symptomatic improvement or an increase in exercise capac ity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At 51 I had a heart attack, just like a lot of other hi-tech people. I went to hospital rehab. I bought a bicycle and started riding. I even attended one of those seminars to learn how to rearrange my priorities in life a little better which would help me manage my stress better. But when the statins (cholesterol lowering medication) kicked in, even rehab didn't prepare me for the nightmare that I went thru the following 2 years - until I rebelled and started researching for myself and couldn't believe what I had discovered - and maybe what really caused my heart attack!!!See press release at http://www.prweb.com/releases/2005/11/prweb309178.htmAlso available in E-book format: See http://www.lulu.com/content/160282.AUGUST 2005 - SECOND EDITION!

Download or read book Life to the Years written by Michael James and published by Morgan James Publishing. This book was released on 2018-04-17 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A cardiologist and his patient tell a true story of surviving and thriving, in a book both informational and inspirational. After Michael Ranville’s emergency treatment, his cardiologist told him: Given the nature and severity of your heart attack, you should no longer be with us. Statistically, you are dead. Now, the doctor and patient unite to present a unique story for the benefit of heart patients—or anyone who has a heart. A generation ago, heart patients rarely defied the statistical category that dictated a sedentary existence and an abbreviated life. But this is the tale of one patient who didn’t die. He continued to live, refused to take up membership in that statistical category. Under the thirty-year care of Dr. Michael James and a forward-leaning cardiac community, Michael Ranville and a host of other determined heart patients created a new statistical category. Life to the Years is also the lively, anecdote-laden story of a tenacious and resourceful cardiologist who helped Ranville seize control of life after heart disease. The authors illustrate the development of life-saving technology with fascinating stories that underscore the human element that still drives medicine. Life to the Years does not shy from the controversial, from the uncomfortable. A confrontation with mortality is the inevitable companion of heart disease. For the authors, the significance of dignity when faced with death—for both family and patient—is far from a theoretical discussion. This is a memoir that will both enlighten and encourage, and offer a behind-the-scenes look at a successful doctor-patient relationship.

Download or read book Strategic Heart Failure written by Marc Silver and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-20 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by one of the country's leading experts on Heart Failure, this completely new book provides a personalized approach, information and advice, guiding you and your family towards getting optimal heart failure care. Heart failure still affects over 6 million Americans, fill our hospitals and consumes enormous healthcare resources in the US and worldwide. Much of the impact of heart failure is lack of process and coordination of care with patients firmly inserted as team members. Dr. Silver says, "Strategic Heart Failure is a distillation of how my team and I helped patients and improved their outcomes for almost 4 decades. I want to share this approach directly with patients; they can help lead their healthcare, understand how decisions are made and improve the entire process of heart failure care." Understanding of a few fundamentals of heart failure care, especially the metrics and language that guideline directed care is crafted from, patients and families can not only join their care team but become the CEO! This Strategic approach moves people with heart failure from patients to partners within a caring, coordinated and engaged teams. Four prior editions of his books, Success with Heart Failure, elevated the understanding of the heart failure syndrome among thousands worldwide. His motivation for Strategic Heart Failure was his realization that his work on clinical trials, research, training other men and women professionals, serving on national guideline committees, being an Editor- in-Chief of a heart failure journal and even being one of the first Board Certified Fellows in Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant was not enough. Even having one of the finest and most dedicated teams was not enough. It is critical for: The patient to be involved The patient to be the team leader The patient to speak the "Heart Failure" language and understand the rationale and process for every life impacting decision. Included is: Where to start even before deciding on drugs and devices? Who should be on your team? What is the Patient Profile and why it is essential for all team members to use? What are the various classifications of heart failure and why it matters? What does HFrEF, HFpEF and HFmEF mean and why does it matter? Why the majority of patients with or at risk for heart failure may not know of their risk? How to use published heart failure guidelines? What other chronic diseases commonly overlap with heart failure? What are biomarkers and how should they be used? And much, much more...including information on COVID-19, SGLT2 inhibiting drugs, lifesaving medicines including ARNIs, and technologies you may not be aware of such as blood volume analysis. And the truth is that Strategic Heart Failure is an approach that is of value to anyone with heart failure but also can be applied to any other chronic disease. So, let's get Strategic!

Book excerpt: Cardiovascular, respiratory, and related conditions cause more than 40 percent of all deaths globally, and their substantial burden is rising, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Their burden extends well beyond health effects to include significant economic and societal consequences. Most of these conditions are related, share risk factors, and have common control measures at the clinical, population, and policy levels. Lives can be extended and improved when these diseases are prevented, detected, and managed. This volume summarizes current knowledge and presents evidence-based interventions that are effective, cost-effective, and scalable in LMICs.
