Roy Gardner is a consultant cardiologist with a specialist interest in advanced heart failure and devices. He helps run the Scottish Advanced Heart Failure Service, based at the Golden Jubilee National Hospital, and is actively involved in the assessment of patients for cardiac transplantation and VAD therapy. He graduated from Dundee University in 1996, and was awarded an MD in 2006 for markers of prognosis in advanced heart failure. Roy was an author and co-editor for the successful Oxford Handbook of Heart Failure. Andrew Clark was educated at Pembroke College, Cambridge, and trained in medicine at the Westminster Medical School. He trained in cardiology at Manchester Royal Infirmary, the National Heart and Lung Institute (London) and the Western Infirmary, Glasgow.
He is a founder member of the British Society for Heart Failure, and is a member of the working groups for Heart Failure and Cardiac Rehabilitation and Exercise Physiology in the European Society of Cardiology. He is presently Professor and Consultant Cardiologist at Hull University and hospitals.
Overall, the book is solid and up to date, written by recognized
experts. I recommend it as a textbook to anyone who works with
heart failure, primarily cardiologists, internists, nephrologists,
geriatricians, heart surgeons, general practitioners and specialist
nurses.
*Journal of the Norwegian Medical Association*
The text is comprehensive with detaied physiology but is delivered
in a clear and understandable way amd is well supported by an
international evidence base. This would be a very useful reference
text for anyone involved in the management of complex clinical
syndrome.
*British Journal of Cardiac Nursing*
For the general cardiologist, this textbook provides an important
and thorough overview of many aspects of heart failure, and could
be a valuable addition to any library. This textook provides a
timely, complete, and easy to read reference work for a clinical
syndrome that needs a specialized cardiac care.
*European Journal of Heart Failure*
With the transformation of this field over the past three decades,
this book serves as a valuable resource with its wealth of
information on topics such as pharmacologic agents, device therapy,
mechanical support, transplant, and even end-of-life care. The
thorough discussion of the comorbidities which accompany heart
failure is unique. This book offers a great review of the field of
heart failure.
*Doody's Review*
I am enthusiastic about this Oxford Textbook of Heart Failure,
edited by McDonagh, Gardner, Clark and Dargie, that fills a
much-needed gap in the literature. The book at once achieves a
ready accessibility and an impressive degree of learning. It will
be of interest to both the non heart failure cardiologist and to
those cardiologists with particular expertise in the area alike,
alongside all other physicians and clinicians involved in
delivering heart failure care, across all health care domains. Each
will bring their own knowledge to their reading but all have much
to learn from this tome. If you buy no other textbook this year
this should be the one, and then read it and read it and read
it.
