The authors have compiled a wealth of clinically useful tools and information drawn from their experience at St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center in New York, making this book a comprehensive evidence-based resource that allows readers to expand their knowledge and enables rapid diagnosis and treatment of patients with ACS.
