Heart Failure: Epidemiology and Research Methods

by Longjian Liu MD PhD MSc (LSHTM) FAHA (Author)

Heart failure is a significant clinical and public health problem, which is associated with higher mortality and morbidity, in addition to increased healthcare expenditures. In recent years, there have been many advances in the field of heart failure research, including the development of precision medicine and advanced biostatistics and epidemiology.

In this concise, practical resource, Dr. Longjian Liu provides a quick expert overview of the key facets of heart failure research. This easy-to-read reference consolidates today’s available information and guidance in this timely area into one convenient resource. The book explores the incidence, distribution, and possible control of heart failure, and brings readers up to date with what’s new in the field and how it can benefit their patients.

One of the key features of the book is the wealth of information on epidemiology and research methods related to heart failure. It discusses the pathophysiology and risk profile of heart failure, research and design, biostatistical basis of inference in heart failure study, advanced biostatistics and epidemiology applied in heart failure study, and precision medicine and areas of future research.

The eBook digital version of this book is 350 pages long and is published by Elsevier. It was released on October 27, 2017, and is available in English. The ISBN-10 is 0323485588, and the ISBN-13 is 978-0323485586.

Overall, I found this book to be an informative and concise resource for anyone interested in heart failure research. The author provides a comprehensive overview of the key facets of heart failure, including the latest advances in precision medicine, biostatistics, and epidemiology.

The information in the book is presented in a clear and concise manner, and the author provides numerous examples to illustrate important concepts. I found the section on the biostatistical basis of inference in heart failure study particularly helpful, as it provided an excellent explanation of the statistical methods used in heart failure research.

Additionally, the book provides practical guidance on how to design and conduct heart failure research. It also discusses the future direction of heart failure research, such as precision medicine, which will help researchers develop targeted therapies that are tailored to a patient’s individual profile.

Overall, I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in heart failure research. It is an excellent resource for clinicians, researchers, and students alike, and provides a comprehensive overview of the latest advances in the field.
