Reperfusion Therapy for Acute Myocardial Infarction provides a comprehensive review of reperfusion therapy for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Professor Eric R. Bates and his international team of contributors will examine current and future reperfusion therapies for STEMI, in conjunction with the latest clinical trials and guidelines, to bring you the most in-depth and thorough review of management strategies for these patients. This source addresses key developments that will reduce logistical barriers, improve times-to-treatment, and ensure that appropriate medications are administered in patient care.

Showing the benefits of reperfusion therapy, this source:

- examines fibrinolytic agents that can be used alone, or in combination with other care regimens, to improve the benefits of reperfusion therapy and reduce the risks of treatment

- summarizes the use of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) across the spectrum of reperfusion therapy

- helps specialists identify barriers to the early treatment of patients in various practice environments

- reviews the clinical relevance and implications of recent clinical trials and the integration of these findings into the current practice of acute reperfusion therapy

Zielgruppe

Cardiologists, internists, cardiovascular specialists, and residents and fellows in these disciplines.

Über Autor(innen)

ERIC R. BATES is Professor of Internal Medicine at the University of Michigan. Dr. Bates received his M.D. from the University of Michigan Medical School, Ann Arbor, and trained in internal medicine and cardiology at the University of Michigan Hospitals. His major clinical interests include acute myocardial infarction, acute coronary syndromes, and coronary artery disease. His research efforts have focused on fibrinolytic and catheter-based reperfusion therapy for acute myocardial infarction and cardiogenic shock, antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapy for coronary thrombosis, and coronary artery revascularization. Dr. Bates has served on the steering committees for several important international multicenter randomized clinical trials. He serves on the editorial boards of the American Journal of Cardiology, the European Journal of Cardiology, the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, the American Heart Journal, Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, and Cardiology News. Dr. Bates is a member of the ACC/AHA writing committee to update the 1999 guidelines for acute myocardial infarction. He is also a member of the American Board of Internal Medicine Interventional Cardiology Test Committee.
