Current Issues in the Management of Stable Ischemic Heart Disease

Despite the increasing success of conventional medical treatment and the continued development and improvement of mechanical revascularization approaches, a significant number of patients continue to have severe angina. This volume is intended to present a clear and concise up-to-date understanding of the pathophysiology and management concepts of stable ischemic heart disease (SIHD). This book reflects the key issues relevant to practising cardiologists and internists in their care of patients with SIHD and summarizes the clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of SIHD in an easy to read format. In particular, it provides a scientific evidence-based management approach to patients with suspected and diagnosed SIHD in clinical settings.
