Written by the world's foremost authorities, this volume provides comprehensive coverage of current approaches to the prevention, diagnosis, and management of atherothrombosis and its coronary and noncoronary complications. This edition has been thoroughly updated, sharply focused on clinical information, and trimmed to one manageable volume. Coverage begins with a review of risk factors and prevention, emphasizing lipid abnormalities, hypertension, smoking, diabetes, and obesity. Subsequent sections examine the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, markers and imaging, acute coronary syndromes, chronic stable angina, and noncoronary atherothrombosis. Clinical presentations, medical management, and the latest interventional strategies are included.

This volume aims to uncover the structural, physiological, and functional foundations of acute coronary syndromes, including developments and advances in the causes of inflammation and embolization, therapeutics, intravenous and oral antiplatlet agents, and anticoagulants. It also features theories on the cost effectiveness of diagnostic therapies of acute coronary syndromes.
