Description
The aim of this book is to provide a readily accessible, up-to-date reference for the ever-growing numbers of health professionals who encounter patients with acute coronary syndromes. While the focus is on primary care, the authors include discussions of some relevant aspects of hospital treatment and have highlighted areas of controversy, aiming to provide a balanced view of current knowledge. From their experience as practising clinicians, they have tried to provide practical guidance about translating a burgeoning evidence base into daily management.

Throughout the book, effort has also been made to provide a perspective that is relevant to an international readership. Accordingly, this full colour book will prove invaluable to busy clinicians everywhere.
