DOWNLOAD EBOOKAcute 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. Key Features Covers recent advances in ACS management and pharmacotherapy Discusses the guidelines for treatment of ACS for the professional cardiologist to apply to clinical practice Explores the topics with the help of case scenarios Follows a concise, yet comprehensive approach Features a chapter on 'When to Transfer,' which discusses how to spot unstable patients or those heading towards shock

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe management of non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndromes(NSTE-ACS) has rapidly evolved over the last few years and manyguidelines have been provided and already updated. This book isbased on the latest ESC Guidelines and reports the currentknowledge in NSTE-ACS, together with the most recent therapeuticoptions and the different strategies that can be applied accordingto the clinical status of patients. International experts address the different aspects of NSTE-ACSand bring useful information to clinicians, interventionalists andsurgeons involved in the difficult management of thesepatients. The ESC Education Series This book is part of the ESC Education Series. The series isdesigned to provide medical professionals with the latestinformation about the understanding, diagnosis and management ofcardiovascular diseases. Where available, managementrecommendations are based on the established European Guidelines,which encompass the best techniques to use with each cardiacdisease. Throughout the series, the leading international opinionleaders have been chosen to edit and contribute to the books.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAll patients arriving at hospital with chest pain suggestive of myocardial ischemia require an immediate 12-lead ECG and medical assessment. Management will depend on the type of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) diagnosed. 'Fast Facts: Acute Coronary Syndromes' is an international evidence-based primer that focuses on optimizing patient outcomes via accurate initial diagnosis, appropriate risk stratification and proper therapeutic decision-making in line with both American and European management guidelines. This refreshingly readable handbook simplifies the complexities involved in the care of patients with ACS by: • Familiarizing readers with the common pathophysiology underlying all ACS • Detailing the specifics of clinical assessment (targeted history, symptom-oriented physical exam, electrocardiography, cardiac biomarkers and imaging) • Assisting best practice in ischemic risk stratification and assessment of bleeding risk • Outlining coronary revascularization techniques, reperfusion strategies and preventive measures • Providing an update on potent antithrombotic therapy (antiplatelet agents and anticoagulants) • Clearly explaining the latest developments that are likely to be implemented in the near future. In this fast-changing field it is difficult for healthcare professionals to remain current and virtually impossible to fully understand all of the subtle nuances of the available clinical trial data. This comprehensive handbook is therefore the essential resource for all healthcare professionals looking for up-to-date, easy-to read information that will assist best practice in the identification and management of all patients with ACS. Contents: • Pathophysiology • Diagnosis • Risk stratification and decision-making • Coronary revascularization • Unstable angina/non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction • ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction • Secondary prevention of coronary artery disease • Developments • Useful resources
