About the Book

"The ESC Textbook of Intensive and Acute Cardiovascular Care" (3rd Edition) by Marco Tubaro is the official textbook of the Acute Cardiovascular Care Association (ACVC) of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC). This comprehensive guide addresses the pressing challenges of intensive and acute cardiovascular care, offering essential knowledge for clinicians, cardiologists, critical care specialists, emergency physicians, and other healthcare professionals involved in the care of critically ill cardiac patients.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain a leading cause of premature death and loss of life quality worldwide. For most types of CVD, early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for improving patient outcomes. This updated edition of the textbook continues to provide in-depth coverage of the key issues in acute cardiovascular care, including the diagnosis, treatment, and management of acute cardiovascular diseases, as well as the necessary organizational strategies and cooperation among multidisciplinary teams.

The book is divided into well-structured sections:

• Section 1: Focuses on the definition, structure, organisation, and function of Intensive Cardiac Care Units (ICCU), alongside ethical issues and quality of care.

• Section 2: Addresses pre-hospital and immediate in-hospital emergency cardiac care.

• Sections 3-5: Discuss patient monitoring, diagnosis, and specific procedures used in acute care.

• Sections 6-8: Focus on Acute Coronary Syndromes (ACS), Acute Decompensated Heart Failure (ADHF), and serious arrhythmias.

• Section 9: Covers other major acute cardiovascular conditions.

• Section 10: Dedicated to accompanying acute non-cardiovascular conditions often encountered in ICCU.

New to this edition are chapters on low cardiac output states, cardiogenic shock, and troubleshooting pacemakers and ICDs. Additionally, several chapters have been extensively revised to reflect the latest advancements in the field. Purchasers of the print edition will also receive access to the online version, which includes additional figures, tables, and videos to enhance learning and demonstrate diagnostic and therapeutic techniques in intensive and acute cardiovascular care.

With its updated and expansive coverage, the third edition of "The ESC Textbook of Intensive and Acute Cardiovascular Care" aims to provide a unified foundation of knowledge and ensure improved quality of care across the field, making it an essential resource for professionals committed to saving lives and improving outcomes in critical cardiovascular care.
