Part of the renowned Braunwald family of references, Acute Coronary Syndromes, Second Edition: A Companion to Braunwald’s Heart Disease provides the tools and knowledge you need for effective diagnosis, evaluation, and management of patients with acute coronary syndrome. Concise and easy to use, this fully revised volume explores the most recent tools for diagnosis and therapeutic decision-making, as well as the full range of available management strategies, providing outcomes data for each strategy. This book also includes regular updates with late-breaking clinical trials, reviews of important new articles, and the latest guidance on clinical practice, all selected and masterfully edited by Dr. Eugene Braunwald.

Key Features

Provides thorough discussions of ECG, established and emerging biochemical markers, angiography, nuclear cardiology, echocardiography, and cardiac MRI and CT
Features an extensive treatment section that covers the latest drugs and most recent clinical trials of antithrombotic therapy, novel anti-inflammatory approaches, coronary revascularization, and approaches to reperfusion injury and ventricular remodeling
Reflects the 2021 ACC/AHA Guidelines for the Evaluation and Diagnosis of Chest Pain, and features increased visual aids such as bulleted lists, graphs, tables, and algorithms throughout
Discusses special considerations for the evaluation of acute coronary syndromes in the emergency department, and use of advanced technologies in cardiac critical care
Covers key topics such as in-hospital complications, cardiogenic shock, transitions to post-discharge care, and cardiac rehabilitation
Includes practice-oriented material that highlights management-focused, practical topics covering expert approaches for areas of uncertainty
Offers guidance on the management of special populations
An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud.
