Description: "This concise text covers all of the essential concepts in the modern treatment of acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction. It deals essentially with the technique of primary angioplasty but in addition covers all of the adjunctive pharmacology, facilitated primary angioplasty, technical aspects of primary angioplasty during acute myocardial infarction, adjunctive techniques, and how to set up a service. This is a timely addition to the literature given the significant expansion in heart attack centres across the world and the expanding role of primary angioplasty. Large numbers of cardiologists not previously involved in primary angioplasty will find themselves expected to undertake the procedures, understand the concepts and literature supporting recommended adjunctive therapies and be involved in organising a service to ensure round-the-clock cover. Such a volume is likely to attract a wide readership given the worldwide enthusiasm for this technique. The volume is fully illustrated with case examples and images of relevant equipment"--Provided by publisher.
