Cardiovascular emergencies hold a significant position among heart diseases. In recent years, research in this field has developed at an extraordinary pace, with continuous updates and enrichments in diagnostic and treatment methods. From a clinical perspective, we have compiled the newest research findings from domestic and international studies on cardiovascular emergencies, combined with our years of practical experience, to write the Cardiovascular Emergency Handbook. This book introduces common treatment methods for cardiopulmonary resuscitation, acute coronary syndrome, hypertensive emergencies, aortic dissection, syncope, hypothermia, acute cardiac tamponade, cerebrovascular emergencies, pediatric and obstetric cardiovascular emergencies, and other conditions in a concise and intuitive format using diagrams, tables, and flowcharts. It also covers the latest technologies in the cardiovascular field, such as emergency interventional treatment for coronary heart disease, emergency coronary artery bypass grafting, temporary cardiac pacing, and intra-aortic balloon pumping. Additionally, the book provides detailed information on the mechanisms of action, indications, dosages, usage, and precautions of commonly used drugs for adult and pediatric cardiovascular emergencies. At the end of the book, there is an English-Chinese glossary of abbreviations. The content of the book is novel, practical, concise, and easy to reference. It is not only a valuable reference for cardiologists and emergency medicine physicians but also serves as an excellent learning tool for physicians and medical students in related fields to master the management of cardiovascular emergencies.
