Comprehensive Treatment of Coronary Artery Disease

By Dietrich Strödter, Frans Santosa
The treatment of coronary artery disease (CAD) encompasses various strategies to improve symptoms and prognosis. In acute coronary syndrome, early revascularization, usually through PCI and stent implantation, is the primary goal of treatment. Drug therapy initially has a supportive role here but is also essential for improving prognosis. Conversely, conservative drug therapy is dominant in treating chronic stable CAD, and if implemented optimally, it can improve the prognosis dramatically. The indication for revascularization should be based on both an angiographic and functional assessment of the stenosis, including FFR or fractional flow reserve. This book provides a critical presentation of treatment strategies for different types of CAD. Lifestyle changes, various drug therapies, invasive procedures like PCI and stent implantation, bypass surgery, and electrotherapeutic measures with ICD, CRT, and cardiac pacemakers are discussed. The authors have created a textbook that offers insight into what is optimal, economically feasible, and evidence-based, not just for attending doctors but also for patients affected by the disease.
