Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is global health problem that is associated with high rates of mortality and disability. Despite significant investments in its diagnosis and early treatment, including the use of invasive procedures, ACS-related mortality remains high, even in developed countries. Many factors influence ACS-related mortality, including cardiovascular risk factors, clinical presentation and the type of treatment patients receive. Another important factor encompasses the significant difficulties associated with the availability of low-income and free health services in developing countries, which compromise routine procedures and the evidence-based treatment of ACS. This results in significant differences in ASC-related mortality between countries. Studies have also revealed differences in the clinical outcomes of these patients, with the most important predictors of mortality being older age, female gender, renal failure, high blood pressure, severe heart failure, previous CABG, and a reduced left ventricular ejection fraction.
This Special Issue focuses on recent advances in the diagnosis, management, and treatment of patients with ACS. We aim to provide an overview of all diagnostic and treatment modalities already available, in addition to future innovations.
