Arman Kilic
Medical and Surgical Therapy for Advanced Heart Failure in the Modern Era provides a comprehensive and in-depth review of important topics in both medical and surgical therapy of heart failure, with a special focus on the recent and significant advancements in the field. The book is divided in sections, first reviewing the updated epidemiology, pathophysiology, and clinical approach to advanced heart failure, then the medical and surgical therapies respectively, and finally exploring the controversies and modern advancements in the field. Topics includes advancements in our understanding and treatment of patients supported with ventricular assist devices including protocol for gastrointestinal bleeding, blood pressure management, anticoagulation practices, and management of valvular disease during LVAD support. It includes use of Entresto, a novel agent used in heart failure, and use of remote monitoring such as the Cardiomems system. From a surgical standpoint, there are new technologies in this space including fully implantable LVADs on the horizon, and the Sherpapak system for maintaining cold temperature during donor organ transport. Hepatitis C positive donors are being used now for heart transplantation as well.
The book serves as the ultimate reference to patient care with advanced heart failure by covering both medical and surgical therapies in the same volume, suitable for cardiologists, clinicians, surgeons, and researchers alike.
