Acute Coronary Syndromes is abounding with figures and graphs that support key data.
Acute Coronary Syndromes, Third Edition contains 7 new chapters on topics including:
- the genomics of acute myocardial infarction
- the use of CRP, myeloperoxidase, N-tyrosine, and other disease markers
- new arterial inflammatory markers
- the enhancement of microcirculatory perfusion in the coronary bed
- the impact of diabetes and metabolic syndrome on the development of ACS
- cardiogenic shock and Killip Class III
- the use of pluripotent stem cells
- BNP and proBNPAudience
Acute Coronary Syndromes stands alone as the most comprehensive, contemporary view of the biology, physiology, and management of acute coronary syndromes (ACS)-offering 32 chapters that span the state-of-the science in the field and provide intriguing discussions on CRP and other disease markers, microcirculation, stem cell therapy, and the development of specialized centers for ACS treatment.
