Hemodynamic Physiology in Advanced Heart Failure and Cardiogenic Shock 2024th Edition

Hemodynamic Physiology in Advanced Heart Failure and Cardiogenic Shock

A comprehensive and practical guide dedicated to understanding and managing advanced heart failure, cardiogenic shock, and mechanical circulatory support, this book stands out for its focus on the dynamic interaction between physician and technology. It bridges the gap between theoretical cardiovascular physiology and real-world clinical application, offering clinicians a physiology-based framework for decision-making across each stage of the patient’s clinical journey.

Key Features:

• Unique Physiologic Approach: Highlights the “man–machine” interaction in patients supported by advanced cardiac devices, integrating fundamental principles of hemodynamics with modern clinical practice.
• Bridging Theory and Practice: Translates complex physiological concepts into actionable clinical insights to guide diagnosis, treatment, and management in critical cardiac care.
• Comprehensive Coverage:
  • Advanced heart failure pathophysiology and clinical progression
  • Cardiogenic shock mechanisms and hemodynamic profiles
  • Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) systems and their physiologic integration
  • Real-world considerations in patient monitoring, therapy optimization, and recovery management
• Patient-Centered Focus: Follows the entire clinical “journey” — from initial hemodynamic instability to recovery or long-term support — providing a holistic understanding of care.
• Multidisciplinary Relevance: Designed for cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, intensivists, specialist nurses, and critical care teams.
