Myocardial infarction and suddent death are strongly interrelated. This new edition of a much-used and widely-quoted atlas has been updated, re-written and revised to provide readers with the most up-to-date overview available of myocardial infarction. The expert text discusses risk factors and diagnosis as well as complications and unusual causes of myocardial infarction. The book features a wide range of exceptional illustrations ranging from pathology to interventional cardiology. It does, therefore, provide a valuable, and easily accessible, aid to physicians in all matters relating to the understanding and diagnosis of this important disease.
