Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) is a growing global menace with patients increasing in developing countries where tobacco and food play a major role. Its treatment guidelines and research results have proliferated in academia, but practical applications lag behind that research. This book addresses this void. Guidelines for treatment of ACS present in-depth reading for practicing cardiologists, thus preventing clinical application. The book aims to appraise readers of real-world situations and suggestions to help them acquire up-to-date knowledge on ACS and its effective diagnosis, prognosis and management.

Reviews for Acute Coronary Syndromes

This is the first edition of a comprehensive overview of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) detailing all aspects and forms of ACS from pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment, and secondary prevention. It outlines the complex aspects of ACS in a detailed yet concise manner to allow the readers to understand the intricate features of acute coronary syndromes. The use of detailed graphics, ECGs, charts, and graphs provides excellent visual aids to guide physicians to understanding and to help them make the correct diagnosis and treatment. Given the complexity of the text and subject manner, this book is a valuable resource for cardiologists and fellows in training.
