This figure has declined only  slightly and in few countries over the past few decades, which is  disturbing in view of our increasing insight into long-term risk  factors of coronary heart disease and the dramatic improvement in the  acute therapy of its manifestations. One important reason for this is  the high fatality during the initial hours of a coronary event, i.e.  before medical treatment can be provided. Approximately one quarter of  all patients suffering an acute cardiac event die prior to admission  to hospital. \u003cbr\u003e  As a result, the focus of current research has shifted from  after-the-fact therapy to the triggering phase of acute coronary  disease. Epidemiological observations of recent trends and newly  identified determinants of coronary disease and the results of  substantial pathophysiological studies of the conversion from chronic  coronary disease to an acute event provide the basis for new  hypotheses about the triggering mechanisms. The ultimate goal is to  design more effective preventive strategies for these deadly diseases.  \u003cbr\u003e  The present extensive summary of important scientific and clinical  developments in the study of the triggering and prevention of coronary  syndromes that have been seen over the last ten years contains the  contributions of leading experts in the field. It presents a  cooperative, balanced view derived from physicians and researchers in  the U.S. and Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1995-11-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792336051\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-009-1577-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 430\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46311860142220,"sku":"9780792336051","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792336051.jpg?v=1771513464","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792336051","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
