Every year approximately 1,500.000  Americans suffer from an acute myocardial infarction, and over 25% of  the total number of deaths in this country are attributable to  coronary artery disease. Unstable angina causes over 650,000 hospital  admissions, and in the absence of medical therapy, the rate of  progression from unstable angina to infarction is 12-20%. Since plaque  disruption, plaque erosion, and acute intracoronary thrombus formation  play major roles in the pathophysiology of both unstable angina and  acute myocardial infarction, and since the two disease entities  represent a continuum of coronary ischemic syndromes, it is  appropriate to discuss the two disease states in a single monograph.  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eUnstable Coronary Artery Syndromes, Pathophysiology, Diagnosis  and\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eTreatment\u003c\/em\u003e will offer the clinician a reference book which  coherently discusses the pathophysiology of acute ischemic syndromes  as well as remarks diagnosis and treatment strategies. Geared toward  internists and cardiologists, the book should allow the reader to  understand the pathophysiology of unstable coronary artery syndromes  and subsequently apply this knowledge to patient care.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-13\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9781461376170\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461376170\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-5715-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 359\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44359065403532,"sku":"9781461376170","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461376170.jpg?v=1755100609","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781461376170","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
