Cardiac insufficiency

It is perhaps easier to diagnose cardiac insufficiency than to define it. In point of fact, it is a syndrome with many and varied clinical, biological and etiological components.
For this reason, Professor Broustet gives general practitioners a lively and vivid guide to how best to recognize, understand and treat cardiac insufficiency - by using common sense and learning to observe patients closely.
What are the triggers, what additional tests should be ordered to confirm a diagnosis, and above all, what are the most revealing symptoms and how can they be identified?
This work is packed with details, examples and brief case-histories showing general practitioners and teaching hospital interns, for example, how to palpate the liver of a suspected cardiac patient and choose really useful tests.
Professor Broustet, ever concerned with the comfort and respect of patients, offers clear and precise explanations in this practical and genuinely useful book.
