Description
This book provides a background of the fundamentals of basic science related to acute coronary syndrome in combination with extensive sections on diagnosis and treatment management. The frequency of ACS is on the rise worldwide, and this timely book covers management through pharmacologic therapy and revascularization. The section on pharmacologic agents includes contributions from the world leaders in cardiovascular drug therapy. Coverage of the recent guidelines for acute coronary syndrome management is included with commentary from the Eugene Braunwald. Included in the Companion series to Braunwalds Heart Disease, this book covers the most challenging cardiovascular problem today.
