Wenn ein krankes Kinderherz nach erfolgreicher Operation wieder zu schlagen beginnt, ist das kaum weniger als ein Wunder. Selbst für einen renommierten Chirurgen wie Martin Kostelka, der schon über 10 000 Eingriffe durchgeführt hat - zumeist an Babys und Kleinkindern, mit herausragender Erfolgsquote.Es ist ein Privileg, dass Professor Kostelka nun erstmals tiefe Einblicke in seinen immens verantwortungsvollen Berufsalltag gewährt. Eindringlich erzählt der Kinderherzchirurg von Schicksalen voll banger Hoffnung, bewegenden und teils außerordentlich komplizierten Fällen. Er zeigt, wie lang der Weg ist vom jungen Mediziner bis zum anerkannten Spezialisten, dem Eltern das Kostbarste anvertrauen. Und er berichtet faszinierend von der Entwicklung eines Fachgebiets, das zum Wohle der Kleinsten beständig die Grenzen des Machbaren verschiebt.Herzensangelegenheit ist eine Geschichte von unermüdlicher Hingabe - und von der wundervollen Kraft kleiner Patientinnen und Patienten, die widrigsten Umständen zum Trotz ihren Lebensmut nicht verlieren.

Als Christiaan Barnard die erste Herzverpflanzung gelang, schrieb man das Jahr 1967, als Dick Fosbury mit seinem neuen Hochsprungstil Gold gewann, 1968, als Neil Armstrong und Buzz Aldrin auf dem Mond landeten, 1969. Diese drei Ereignisse sind Sternstunden einer Ära, in der alles möglich schien: Sternstunden der 60er-Jahre.Vielleicht weckt dieses Buch bei den Älteren Erinnerungen, die es wert sind, geweckt zu werden, vielleicht bei den Jüngeren Interesse für eine Zeit, die es wert ist, dass man sich für sie interessiert. Und wenn man am Ende alles für übertrieben hält, weil kein Jahrzehnt so besonders sein kann, wie es hier von den 60ern behauptet wird, dann hat es sein Ziel erreicht.

Heart failure is an important and ever-expanding sub-speciality of cardiology. Many professional bodies working in healthcare are now developing specialist expertise in heart failure. With advances in medical therapy, the prognosis of the condition has improved dramatically. Whereas once heart failure was a pre-terminal diagnosis, now for many it is treatable. However, some patients remain symptomatic and at high risk of death despite maximal medical therapy. The new edition of Heart Failure comprehensively covers all aspects necessary to manage a patient with heart failure. It gives simple, clear advice on the diagnosis, investigation, and treatment options available highlighting the current evidence-base. As part of the Oxford Specialist Handbooks in Cardiology, the chapters provide concise and objective information to guide all healthcare professionals involved in the modern day multi-disciplinary management of the syndrome. Set out logically to mirror the patient journey in heart failure, this handbook facilitates the practice of optimal evidence-based management for heart failure patients. Ideal for trainee cardiologists, consultant cardiologists, care of the elderly and general physicians, cardiothoracic surgeons, primary care doctors, pharmacists and specialist nurses.
