Care has shifted from acute coronary syndrome patients towards elderly patients, with a high prevalence of non-ischemic cardiovascular diseases and a high burden of non-cardiovascular comorbid conditions: both increase the susceptibility of patients to developing life-threatening critical conditions. These conditions are associated with a significant symptom burden, high mortality rate, and increased length of stay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe main new challenges involve shared decision-making, symptom control (pain, dyspnea, etc.), and ethical issues (withholding\/withdrawing life sustaining treatments, deactivation of implanted cardiac devices, palliative sedation), all of which necessitate formal education on end-of-life care. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWritten by opinion leaders in their respective fields, who share their experience with improving the cultural and clinical competence of medical\/nursing teams, this volume is chiefly intended for cardiologists, anesthesiologists, palliative care doctors and nursing staff.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2022-10-01\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783030801144\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-030-80112-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 195\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47716616208524,"sku":"9783030801144","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783030801144.jpg?v=1776862553","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783030801144","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
