Synopsis

This comprehensive volume provides a detailed overview of acute myocardial infarction, reflecting the virtual explosion of data about diagnosis, pathophysiology, characterization of clinical sub-groups and treatment of patients which has occurred in recent years.



This 2nd edition has been thoroughly revised and expanded to reflect this, with new chapters on women and acute myocardial infarction, cardiac rehabilitation and exercise, and risk factor modification after MI. While seeking to preserve the blend of the practical and the theoretical found in the first edition, it goes even further in providing useful information on patient management.
