The rapidly evolving healthcare landscape calls for clinicians to constantly stay up-to-date on the latest technologies and approaches in patient care. This is especially true in the field of cardiac intensive care, where the management of critically ill patients with cardiovascular disease can be complex and challenging.

It covers key topics and emerging issues in cardiac intensive care, including COVID-19, cardiogenic shock, cardiorenal syndrome, cardiac tamponade, acute aortic dissection, and takotsubo cardiomyopathy. The book provides an in-depth understanding of the management of myocardial infarction, heart failure, and their complications, including respiratory and renal failure, and features more than 100 radiographic images, echocardiograms, ECGs, anatomic illustrations, and algorithms throughout.
