Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rate of mortality associated with ischemic heart disease (IHD) has decreased in Europe over the last few decades; however, IHD remains the single most common cause of death worldwide. Indeed, the in-hospital mortality rates of unselected patients with STEMI vary between 4 and 12%.
Pharmaceuticals is launching a Special Issue on “Trends in Pharmacological Treatments for Acute Coronary Syndrome”, which will be dedicated to the following specific issues:
- gender differences;
- MINOCA;
- quality indicators for reducing the gap between optimal guideline-based treatment and actual care;
- non-invasive imaging for acute and long-term management; and
- the special patients subset (patients taking an oral anticoagulant, patients with renal insufficiency, the elderly, etc.).
