Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide despite major advances in diagnosis and treatment. Rapid emergency intervention—including early recognition, primary percutaneous coronary intervention, and optimal antithrombotic therapy—has significantly improved short-term survival. However, challenges persist in optimizing in-hospital care, improving risk stratification, and ensuring effective secondary prevention to reduce recurrent events and long-term complications. This Special Issue aims to gather cutting-edge research, clinical studies, and comprehensive reviews addressing the entire spectrum of ACS management, from pre-hospital and emergency care to long-term rehabilitation and secondary prevention strategies. Particular attention will be given to novel diagnostic tools, individualized treatment algorithms, health systems optimization, and adherence to evidence-based secondary prevention therapies. By fostering multidisciplinary contributions, this Special Issue seeks to promote integrated care models that translate into improved patient outcomes and reduced cardiovascular burden.
