Echocardiography in Acute Coronary Syndrome Diagnosis, Treatment and Prevention /

Coronary artery disease is the most commonly encountered problem in adult cardiology in the developed world. In the US, more than 70 million people are at risk for developing coronary artery disease (CAD) and it is responsible for almost 40% of all deaths each year. The reliable evaluation of patien...
