Features: Coronary heart disease, also known as ischemic heart disease, is one of the most common and harmful heart diseases worldwide. In many countries, especially in industrialized nations, it has become one of the leading causes of death. In Finland, approximately 1-3% of the annual deaths are due to coronary heart disease. In the United States, with a population of 200 million, more than 3,000 people experience acute myocardial infarction daily, and about 700,000 deaths are caused by coronary heart disease each year, with a significant portion being sudden deaths. Research on coronary heart disease is not only becoming increasingly comprehensive but also advancing rapidly. This book is the fourth edition published after May 1995. It adds seven new chapters, in addition to correcting errors and enriching the content based on the previous edition, it also combines Chapters 2 and 4 into one chapter and adds seven more, making the total 41 chapters. The original chapters on coronary heart disease with heart failure, coronary heart disease, and coronary heart disease with arrhythmia have been rewritten and combined into one chapter on coronary heart disease with myocardial infarction.
