About this book
Reviews
"The review of the data on the diagnostic and prognostic utility of serum markers of cardiac injury is especially thorough. The treatments of thrombolytic therapy and primary angioplasty for acute myocardial infarction are complete, timely, and objective...[the] section on special aspects of acute coronary syndromes summarizes well the important issues of gender bias (or lack thereof) in cardiovascular medicine and the impact of lowering cholesterol." -Annals of Internal Medicine, 18 May 1999, Reviewer: Warren Laskey, MD
"...a thorough, wide-ranging review of the current knowledge on ACS...a valuable resource for cardiologists and emergency physicians." -Circulation
"This is an excellent and concise review of the spectrum of unstable angina, ST segment elevation infarction, and ST segment depression infarction...It spends a good deal of time on explaining the serum markers for myocardial ischemia as well as their pathophysiologic differences between ST elevation and ST depression infarction and the rationale for specific treatment strategies. Data on primary angioplasty and the thrombolytic trials are reviewed in detail...The numerous tables and charts are well designed and emphasize important topics covered in the text...This book is an excellent summary of acute coronary syndromes. It is well thought out and easy to read, which allows the reader to assimilate a lot of information in a short period of time. Its clear writing and effective use of tables and graphics solidifies understanding this essential topic in cardiology."-5 stars, Doody's Health Sciences Book Review Journal
