Cardiovascular pharmacotherapy is a fast-moving and complex discipline within cardiology in general. New studies, trials and indications are appearing on a regular basis. This series, and this particular title within the series, is designed to establish the baseline level of knowledge that a cardiovascular professional needs to know on a day-to-day basis. The information within is designed to allow readers to learn quickly and with certainty the mode of action, the possible adverse effects, and the management of patients prescribed these drugs. The emphasis is on current practice, but with an eye to the near-future direction of treatment. This book is intended to update clinicians on recent data on the medical management of patients with Acute Coronary Syndromes. Alongside each book in the series, this title has been established to allow rapid publication of new editions to cover developments in the field.




This book updates clinicians on the most recent data regarding the medical management of patients of acute coronary syndrome (ACS), providing useful information and expert opinion on the large trials, international guidelines, and clinical practice. It reinforces the need for rapid intervention with pharmacologic therapies to treat and prevent coronary thromboembolism, and to prepare the patient for revascularization procedures, especially percutaneous coronary intervention.

Pharmacological Treatment of Acute Coronary Syndromes describes conventional treatment – including anti-ischemic, antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapy – and discusses the clinical use of newer treatment options: the potent new P2Y12 platelet receptor inhibitors with the recently recommended ticagrelor and prasugrel, and new oral anticoagulant agents showing promise for acute management and secondary prevention in ACS. Triple therapy, while not initiated in the acute setting, may impact on future surgical and medical emergencies and their management. Also covered are the various recommendations for each of the antiplatelet and anticoagulant agents in terms of patient selection, pretreatment and timing of therapy, making this book an essential read for a wide range of health professionals.
