Handbook of Acute Coronary Syndromes

Acute coronary syndromes (ACS: myocardial infarction and unstable angina) are one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the world. The breadth and intensity of investigation into ACS means that it is very difficult to keep up-to-date with this new knowledge. The Editors have assembled a group of international experts to deliver a concise handbook on the pathophysiology, epidemiology, and treatment of ACS. Chapters are focused and evidence-based, and will provide readers with easy access to practical information on the diagnosis and management of patients with both ST elevation and non-ST elevation ACS.
