This book introduces practical heart failure (HF) managements at the acute, in-hospital stages during hospitalization and also in the end-stages of HF, including the difference compared to the rest of the world. Given its increasing incidence and prevalence, we live in a world facing an HF pandemic. As one of the countries with outstanding longevity, Japan has unique characteristics concerning the selection of medical treatment, diagnostic techniques, team managing and other treatments. This book sheds light on the clinical challenges involved in reducing re-hospitalization and improving the prognosis and the ADL/QOL of the patients, and reports on the status quo in Japan, comparing to the rest of the world. Sharing these challenges and methods used to address them should encourage the world’s experts to intensively discuss and accelerate research on the clinic in this field. The editors and authors have taken on central roles in managing HF in Japan. It will be indispensable not only for clinicians, technicians and nurses in this field, but also for general physicians, emergency physicians and others who are involved in intensive care.
