It provides in-depth coverage of the phenomenon of CMVO which heavily affects prognosis by increasing the risk of death and heart failure at follow-up. A first of its kind reference dedicated solely to this topic, it is appropriate for a wide audience, from researchers, to those who aid in the management, prevention and treatment of CMVO.
- Provides in-depth coverage of coronary microvascular obstruction (CMVO), spanning research, management, prevention and treatment
- Includes the most up-to-date information on CMVO as presented from top experts around the word
- Provides access to a companion website with extra material, including tables, additional references and instructional videos
- Gives extensive coverage on how to measure CMVO, including in-depth indexes that can be used to detect and quantify the phenomenon
Researchers and those involved in the prevention and treatment of CMVO including cardiologists, interventional cardiologists, intensive care cardiologists, family doctors, and medical students
