"Overall, this is a wonderful resource for practicing physicians in internal medicine and cardiology. It is a great reference for diagnosing, treating, and managing heart failure patients in both inpatient and clinic settings." --Rohini Manaktala, D.O. (Ochsner Clinic Foundation) for Doody's Review Service
