Case Study
Charlie, a 75-year old overweight man, has arrived at the general practice clinic where you are currently working. He is breathless, has visible peripheral oedema, and tachycardia. Two years ago Charlie was diagnosed with chronic heart failure as a result of ischaemic cardiomyopathy and hypertension but states that in the past few days he has felt increasingly unwell.
Based on the case, choose three references from the reference list below which you believe best summarise the evidence for the management of Charlie’s condition.
