Foreword to the Second Edition
Since the publication of the first edition in 2009, quite a substantial amount of new insights in the pathobiology of acute heart failure have been gained. This second edition incorporates these new findings and integrates them into the “big puzzle” and concept of acute heart failure syndromes. Indeed, we have not only discovered more details about this syndrome but this new knowledge substantially helps us to understand the overall context of this malady. The new views may hopefully open ways to develop new and better therapeutic strategies, particularly for patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction where a scientifically based effective treatment could not yet be established.
