There is little doubt that during the past decade heart failure has emerged as a growth industry within the healthcare systems of developed countries. Greater longevity and survival from previously faced cardiac events- two key markers of a combination of better public health initiatives-and dramatic changes in medical treatment have left us with a far more vulnerable population in whom heart failure has thrived. Meeting the need for a practical textbook on nursing care for heart failure patients, Caring for the Heart Failure Patient comprehensively covers the subject from pathophysiology to caring for the elderly. A dynamic team of experts writes on those aspects of heart failure care that concern allied health professionals. Written in a straightforward style, the book provides an overall view of the most salient and important features of the epidemiology, pathophysiology, treatment, and therapeutic management of the patient with heart failure. Topics include gender issues in heart failure, the role of exercise and activity, psychosocial aspects and the non-pharmacological management of heart failure.

Caring for the Heart Failure Patient

Heart failure is a condition that often results in chronic tiredness and shortness of breath. It also requires complex nursing and medical treatment, especially after a hospital admission, which is all too frequent for persons with heart failure. This book describes and discusses the latest research concerning the benefits of having specially trained nurses manage the care of patients with heart failure after they have been discharged from hospital to their own home. Leading nurses and doctors from around the world discuss their experiences with this type of innovative and effective care program. Building upon these experiences, the book also contains a practical guide to developing this type of care program into a fully functional service that provides quality care to those patients admitted to hospital with heart failure.
