Features: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is one of the common critical cardiovascular diseases in clinical practice, characterized by sudden onset, rapid changes in condition, challenging management, and high mortality. In recent years, there have been remarkable advancements in the diagnosis and treatment of AMI, particularly with the continuous emergence of new diagnostic technologies and interventional treatment methods, which have ushered AMI diagnosis and treatment into a new era. This book systematically and comprehensively introduces the latest progress and concepts in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of AMI, with a focus on commonly used diagnostic methods and treatment techniques, providing guidance for both clinical and experimental research. The main contents include the pathophysiology and pathological anatomy of AMI, clinical manifestations, laboratory diagnosis, special site infarctions such as right ventricular and atrial infarction, anticoagulant therapy, thrombolytic therapy, interventional therapy, hypothermia therapy, and rehabilitation therapy, as well as clinical phenomena such as ischemic cardiomyopathy, ventricular remodeling, and myocardial ischemic preconditioning. This book integrates recent achievements from both domestic and international sources, offering up-to-date and rich content with a strong clinical emphasis. It is suitable for cardiovascular specialists, researchers, graduate students, and senior medical students as a reference and reading material.
