Summary |
"Disease states affecting the heart represent a major and costly burden to both society and the individual. In this context, chronic congestive heart failure is associated with unacceptably high levels of morbidity and mortality; especially among certain "high-risk" individuals. The studies described in this book were designed to identify and address the burden imposed by heart failure on both the individual and the health care system. It describes research that shows how it is possible to minimize the impact of heart failure through specialist nurse management."--BOOK JACKET |
