Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Coronary artery disease and acute myocardial infarction are leading causes of mortality across the world. In the last few years, many efforts have been made to improve the treatment and survival of acute cardiac patients. The establishment of well-run networks has sped up the diagnosis and treatment of these high-risk patients, facilitating the rapid recognition and treatment of acute complications and application of percutaneous and mechanical reperfusion to the vast majority of acute ischemic patients. Several advances in adjunctive mechanical devices and pharmacological therapies have enabled the development of tailored therapies and further improved patient outcomes. However, they remain unsatisfactory in some high-risk subgroups, such as those with cardiogenic shock and diabetes.
Therefore, we seek manuscripts covering recent advances in the diagnosis, management, and prognostic stratification of patients suffering from acute cardiac and coronary artery disease, including original clinical studies and reviews.
Prof. Dr. Giuseppe De Luca
