Heart failure is the ultimate final outcome of any disease which affects heart with or without involvement of any other organ, if left untreated at appropriate time. Many new classes of drugs like ARNI and SGLT-2 inhibitors have shown great promise in terms of morbidity and mortality in heart failure and have created great enthusiasm in cardiologist and heart failure specialist. The question arises there are so many books on heart failure available, then why need another and how this book will be different from others. Nowadays most of the books are written by multiple authors which become so voluminous because of repetition of same facts multiple times and sometimes two chapters are having altogether different perspective on same topic as these chapters are written by different group of researchers. Another problem which is being faced by the practicing cardiologists is rapid changes in guideline and sometimes change in the recommendation based on same piece of evidence. Another issue which needs to be understood is that each patient is unique in its profile and he or she should be treated with the treatment with the best possible evidence available.
