About this book
Reviews
“The chapters in this much-needed book are written as standalone articles on topics related to end-of-life care in adult and pediatric cardiac and vascular disease. … There has long been a need for a book like this, and this effort is greatly appreciated. … This is a terrific and important start to a growing base of literature about palliative care in cardiovascular disease. The book provides a nice overview and addresses current clinical issues such as mechanical circulatory support.” (Megan Laila Morrison, Doody’s Book Reviews, December, 2015)
