Industry Reviews

"This book is a fantastic resource for anyone working with patients with heart failure. It will facilitate the integration of palliative care into heart failure management ..."
-British Journal of Hospital Medicine

The book includes chapters on the syndrome of advanced heart failure-optimal therapy, prognosis, symptom relief, supportive care, communication, the need for palliative care, and how to improve terminal care.

Good stuff.

-Roger Woodruff, IAHPC Reviews Editor

"First, it is an updated review of symptom control and palliation of end stage cardiac disease, which is very helpful for non-cardiologists working in palliative care. Second, it emphasises optimising service provisions, including a team approach (i.e. not just the patient and the cardiologist). And third, because it announces that Karen Hogg has been appointed as the UK's first cardiologist with a special interest in palliative care, which I regard as recognition of a clinical need...Good stuff."

-Roger Woodruff, April 2017
