This book provides complete in-depth medical study of Coronary Artery Disease. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality, taking away 17.1 million lives globally every year. Due to heart diseases, one person is dying every 34 seconds in the USA alone. However, cases of cardiovascular disease have declined in the past few years due to a better understanding of the pathology, implementation of lipid lowering therapy, better medications including low-molecular-weight heparin and antiplatelet drugs such as glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor inhibitors and crucial surgical intervention. The disease strain has a great financial influence on global healthcare systems and major economic consequences for world economies. The content provides contemporary understanding of coronary artery disease. This book discusses epidemiology and pathophysiology of coronary artery disease, its diagnostics and treatment regimens for coronary artery disease.
