Acute Cardiology

The fourth, revised and supplemented edition is dedicated to the main diagnoses and conditions in acute cardiology. The new edition is supplemented with additional findings and is fully updated. The fourth edition also includes brand new chapters Cardiovascular Implantable Electronic Devices – emergency situations and their solutions and Astrup examination in acute cardiology. Even in the fourth edition of Acute Cardiology, the editors have retained the practical pocket format with a keyword-based arrangement of the text, with an emphasis on clear tables, diagrams, and images. The reader should quickly become familiar with diagnostics, differential diagnostics, examination methods, and basic and subsequent treatment of acute conditions in cardiovascular medicine.

This primarily clinically focused aid is intended not only for doctors and nurses working in coronary units, intensive care units and hospital emergency departments, but also for doctors in internal medicine departments and anyone interested in cardiology and intensive care.
