**Section 5 Cardiac Critical Care 103**

Chapter 6 **Current Perspectives on Cardiomyopathies 105** Nandita Mehta and Sayyidah Aasima tu Nisa Qazi

Preface

Intensive care medicine is rapidly evolving and becomes increasingly complex, and the basic and clinical skills required to treat critical illnesses continue to transcend subspecialties. For this reason, intensivists have to master a number of medical disciplines such as anesthesiolo‐ gy, surgery, chest diseases, psychiatry, and infectious diseases. In this book, critical care for neonatal, neurological, and cardiological patients; fluid management in these patients; and intensive care infections are included. We hope the readers find this book to be helpful.
