Description

Acute Myocardial Infarction in Young Women: Understanding its Mechanisms and Management serves as a seminal reference for understanding the current landscape of cardiovascular health in young women, highlighting clinical areas that require focused attention. By customizing the information to their unique physiological and clinical differences, more precise and effective interventions will lead to improved outcomes. The information is meticulously updated to address the specific cardiovascular health issues encountered by young women with myocardial infarction. This ensures that each stage of care—from cardiovascular risk assessment and symptom-recognition to the acute myocardial infarction (AMI) pathway, and rehabilitation follow-up—is optimized.

Ultimately, this book equips health professionals with the most current and evidence-based information, enabling them to deliver the highest standard of care for young women with myocardial infarction. It will enhance quality of care, and contribute to improved health outcomes for young women across all stages of the cardiovascular healthcare continuum.

Key features

  • Presents an original summary of existing scientific data on the specific features of heart attacks in young women
  • Ameliorates the lack of awareness of myocardial infarction in young women due to the persistence of stereotypes about this demographically exploding population
  • Fosters multidisciplinary, integrative work, combining scientific data and tools for clinical practice

Readership

Cardiologists and allied professionals, as well as emergency professionals and gynecologists
