Synopsis

This comprehensive volume provides a detailed overview of acute myocardial infarction, reflecting the virtual explosion of data about diagnosis, pathophysiology, characterization of clinical sub-groups and treatment of patients which has occurred in recent years.



This 2nd edition has been thoroughly revised and expanded to reflect this, with new chapters on women and acute myocardial infarction, cardiac rehabilitation and exercise, and risk factor modification after MI. While seeking to preserve the blend of the practical and the theoretical found in the first edition, it goes even further in providing useful information on patient management.

About this title

Synopsis

Many factors - including changing epidemiology of coronary artery disease, earlier diagnosis, and more effective treatment - have radically altered the management of patients with acute myocardial infarction and the emergence of therapy aimed at acute reperfusion has heralded an era of profound change. There has been an explosion of data about diagnosis, pathophysiology, characterization of clinical subgroups, and treatment of patients with acute myocardial infarction. This edition includes new chapters on women and acute myocardial infarction; cardiac rehabilitations, and exercise training; risk factor modification; after myocardial infarction; and myocardial infarction in the elderly.
