9781560534587: Evidence-Based Management of the Acute Coronary Syndrome

Synopsis

Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is at present the most common clinical entity requiring admission of a patient to an inpatient cardiology service. In the past, evaluation and treatment options for patients with this syndrome were either empirical or based on observational reports of clinical outcomes. Recent clinical trials have resulted in a deeper, evidence-based understanding of the pathophysiology, presentation, risk assessment, and management of the acute coronary syndrome and its subsets (e.g., unstable angina and myocardial infarction). This book organizes the data gleaned from these trials to present the best use of individual forms of evaluation and treatment to provide optimal patient outcome. It is a clear, concise source for everything the cardiologist, cv surgeon, emergency physician or others on the frontlines of caring for patients with chest pain need to know and the only book on this topic that is evidence-based.
