内容説明

Treatment of the elderly with cardiac disease is often complicated by a history of multiple chronic diseases and the expectations of patients and their families about duration and quality of life. This book provides the cardiologist with a reference for treating this subset of patients. A range of information is provided, including various treatment modalities (such as defibrillators and PTCA), clinical trials and quality of life issues, including informed consent and euthanasia.
