      abstract = {This book is intended to be a link between guidelines and  clinical practice, a complementary tool to help physicians  to be well informed regarding the important field of heart  failure. It will be a useful tool for professionals from  all the fields of cardiology: non-invasive cardiology,  interventional cardiology, electrophysiology and  cardiovascular imaging. The topic of heart failure is  continuously changing, with new important information being  added constantly. The pathophysiology is better understood  and there is a trend for a better characterization of  special groups of population, such as oncologic patients  with heart failure. The new imaging techniques have become  valuable tools for the diagnosis of heart failure, while  pharmacological and novel cell and gene treatments have  evolved enormously. The challenge for the practitioners is  making the right selection of treatment strategy that best  fits a patient. This book presents detailed information on  the indications, selection and mechanism of action of these  treatments, whether they be mechanical circulatory devices  or pharmacological treatments. The contemporary  pharmacological and non-pharmacological management of heart  failure has the main target of early prevention of disease  progression and the avoidance of heart transplant. In the  era of shortage of donors, prevention is the mainstay of  the therapeutic strategy, and this is the main philosophy  of our book.},
