While the majority of patients with symptomatic coronary artery disease (CAD) achieve acceptable angina relief through medical therapy, coronary artery bypass grafting and percutaneous coronary intervention, a growing number are not candidates for these procedures.  Standard procedures are largely palliative, and symptom recurrence is relatively common, while the increase in obesity and type 2 diabetes may result in a potential explosion in severe, diffuse CAD.  As these trends continue, the population of patients who fail to achieve adequate symptomatic improvement through standard medical and revascularization strategies will grow exponentially. Therapeutic options for these patients are currently limited, but experimental and developing strategies are appearing, including transmyocardial laser revascularization, therapeutic angiogenesis, spinal cord stimulation, external counterpulsation, various novel medical therapies and complex percutaneous and surgical revascularization strategies. Coronary Artery Disease: New Approaches without Traditional Revascularization is a comprehensive and clinically oriented review of the epidemiology and basic science foundation for studies in this challenging group of patients. Current and novel treatment strategies are put in the context of past failures and future directions, and the Editors and their carefully chosen group of contributors provide a fascinating insight into the direction and focus for clinical practice and research in this area. As such this book is an important reference not only for clinical cardiologists, cardiac surgeons and interventionalists but also researchers into novel diagnostic measures, new surgical techniques and other treatment regiments in CAD.

Acute coronary syndromes (ACS) is an umbrella term used to describe a series of signs and symptoms indicative of myocardial ischemia, comprising unstable angina, non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction, and ST segment elevation myocardial infarction. Managing Acute Coronary Syndromes in Clinical Practice is an essential resource for the clinician in the management of ACS. In addition to providing a comprehensive overview of the epidemiology and clinical presentation of ACS, it also guides the reader through risk assessment, risk stratification, diagnosis, and treatment of ACS. The book concludes with a discussion on emerging technologies in the treatment of ACS. The handbook format and ample use of illustrations make this pocketbook an excellent resource for General Practitioners, Emergency Medicine Physicians, Nurses, Nurse Practitioners, Pharmacists, Physician Trainees, Medical Students, Nursing Students, and Paramedics who wish to keep up-to-date with recent advances in the understanding and treatment of ACS.
