It is a disease with  stark implications, markedly reducing life-expectancy and diminishing  the quality of life. This book has been designed for the readers seeking  a comprehensive overview of all aspects of the disease entity. The  chapters have been organized in such a way that all the aspects of heart  failure are covered. The initial chapters discuss the global burden of  heart failure and the challenges involved in diagnosing it. A special  emphasis on systolic and diastolic heart failure has been made  highlighting its pathophysiology, diagnosis, and therapeutic options.  The final chapters discuss the major challenges involved in treating  people with end-stage heart failure with advanced cardiac therapies,  including cardiac transplantation and mechanical circulatory support.
