Recenzii
“The chapters in this much-needed book are writtenas standalone articles on topics related to end-of-life care in adult andpediatric cardiac and vascular disease. … There has long been a need for a booklike this, and this effort is greatly appreciated. … This is a terrific andimportant start to a growing base of literature about palliative care incardiovascular disease. The book provides a nice overview and addresses currentclinical issues such as mechanical circulatory support.” (Megan Laila Morrison,Doody’s Book Reviews, December, 2015)
Textul de pe ultima copertă
Cardiovascular (CV) disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. While death rates from many acute CV illnesses have declined in developing countries, a substantial proportion of individuals with CV disease ultimately die from CV causes. As the population ages, the global burden of CV disease will continue to rise. Until recently, the focus of clinicians has been on saving lives and deferring death. Over the past decade there has been growing recognition of the importance of palliative care and end of life care in CV disease.
While palliative and supportive care should be provided throughout the course of serious and life-shortening illnesses, this book focuses on issues that clinicians encounter in end-of-life care. This book provides guidance to clinicians working across the breadth of care settings, in chronic progressive disease as well as sudden arrhythmic death andwith advanced technologies.
End-of-Life Care in Cardiovascular Disease is designed to assist clinicians, nurses, and other healthcare providers in addressing end of life care for patients with CV disease in a variety of common clinical scenarios. Each chapter is written by expert clinicians and researchers, and concisely reviews current knowledge and recommendations for providing patient- and family-centered end-of-life care.
