Cardiac Failure — Office Management in Family Practice

摘要

In the outline presented for the office management of early cardiac failure, it is possible to suspect cardiac failure by careful history taking and physical examination coupled with the appropriate laboratory investigation; therapy may be instituted in an office setting, and the patient may be monitored at the office level by a family physician, or indeed, by a carefully trained nurse.By using the various available medications appropriately, the side effects of these potent medications can be avoided.
