Heart failure is a serious health condition that affects millions of people worldwide, and the incidence is increasing, particularly among women. Currently, heart failure is the leading cause of hospitalization for women over the age of 65. Despite this alarming fact, heart failure in women has not been adequately studied, leading to gaps in our understanding of the disease, its diagnosis, and treatment strategies. In light of this, we are excited to introduce the latest issue of Heart Failure Clinics, guest edited by Gina Price Lundberg and Laxmi S. Mehta, with consulting editor Eduardo Bossone: Heart Failure in Women.

The book covers a wide range of topics related to heart failure in women, such as gender-based differences in risk factors that contribute to the development of heart failure, imaging techniques for diagnosing heart failure, various forms of heart failure in women (with preserved or reduced ejection fraction), and peripartum cardiomyopathy – a condition that develops during pregnancy, or within six months after giving birth. Besides this, the book also delves into the lesser-known areas, such as stress-induced cardiomyopathy, atrial fibrillation, and heart failure in women with other comorbidities like breast cancer, valvular heart disease, and congenital heart disease. It also examines advanced therapies for heart failure in women, including cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs).

The book contributing authors are leading experts in the field, who provide their valuable insights, latest research findings, and evidence-based clinical guidance. They have authored well-written and organized chapters with clear-cut information that is further supported by medical illustrations, figures, and diagrams, making the book easy to read, interesting, and informative.
