Acute Cardiovascular Care Textbook

ESC Textbook of Intensive and Acute Cardiovascular Care (3rd edn.)

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a major cause of premature death worldwide and a cause of loss of disability-adjusted life years. For most types of CVD, early diagnosis and intervention are independent drivers of patient outcome. Clinicians must be properly trained and centres appropriately equipped in order to deal with these critically ill cardiac patients.

The ESC Textbook of Intensive and Acute Cardiovascular Care (IACC) is a key reference for education, serving the needs of all professionals involved in the management of patients with acute cardiovascular care diseases.
