Summary

This book aims to present some answers to the most difficult questions presented to clinicians when they see patients with acute coronary syndromes. Internationally known cardiologists critically appraise the literature and, together with their own clinical wisdom and experience of research, present an informed view. The focus is on the implications for diagnosis, prevention and treatment. Topics already well-covered in the standard textbooks have been avoided, so that only subjects of real controversy can be explored.
