CHF affects about five million patients in the US alone and an estimated 23 million patients worldwide, and is the only cardiac disease that is growing in prevalence, due to both increasing survival rates of myocardial infarctions and ageing population. In this book, the authors aim to uncover the many hormonal influences on myocardial function and discuss possible aetiological mechanisms, diagnostic modalities and management strategies of the Takotsubo syndrome. 410 0$aCardiology research and clinical developments series. 606 $aCongestive heart failure 606 $aHeart failure 615 0$aCongestive heart failure. 615 0$aHeart failure. 676 $a616.1/29 701 $aGarcia$b Josias E$01868779 701 $aWright$b Victoro R$01868780 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910963394703321 996 $aCongestive heart failure$94476789 997 $aUNINA
