Summary

Myocardial infarction is the greatest single cause of premature death in the western world. This concise and practical volume is directed at doctors and nurses working in coronary care units (CCU) where patients suspected of myocardial infarction are managed. Evidence-based footnotes areincluded throughout, providing data from clinical trials on which some of the therapies and management strategies are based. A useful appendix enables the physician to rapidly calculate a patients 10 year coronary risk. It will be an invaluable guide to the assessment and management of cardiacpatients from admission to AandE, during their stay in the CCU, but also after transfer to a recovery area and discharge home.
