Details: Written by a distinguished authority in cardiac physiology, this volume explains and integrates the many mechanisms responsible for heart failure. The chapters examine impaired pump function, neurohumoral responses to reduced cardiac output, and contraction and relaxation abnormalities.

The coverage includes detailed analyses of underlying molecular mechanisms, clinical manifestations, and therapy.
