This book provides an overview of the etiology of coronary artery
disease and focuses on the main therapies and drug interventions
currently available. It highlights drug pharmacology and
therapeutic challenges, with a special emphasis on the underlying
principles of available therapeutics and the on-going development
of drugs for coronary artery disease. The book is divided into
eight chapters, the first of which describes the classical
mechanism of coronary artery disease and its clinical
presentations. Chapter 2 lists the principles of and related
evidence on the prevention and treatment of coronary artery
disease. This includes diet and lifestyle management, and
guidelines for the treatment of acute coronary syndrome and stable
coronary artery disease. In turn, Chapter 3 describes
revascularization treatments, covering percutaneous coronary
interventions, coronary artery bypass grafts and thrombolysis. This
chapter also addresses the main therapeutic challenges. The
following chapters provide an overview of three major categories of
coronary artery disease drugs, which target thrombosis (Chapter 4),
lipid metabolism (Chapter 5), and hypertension (Chapter 6). Heart
failure constitutes the major health burden in the late stage of
coronary artery disease; accordingly, current heart failure
therapeutics and related drug pharmacology are described in Chapter
7. In closing, Chapter 8 provides a summary of on-going clinical
trials for coronary artery disease drug development and discusses a
number of promising areas in which intensive research into new
therapeutics is being pursued. Given its scope, the book will be of
interest to clinicians, medical students and research scientists,
as well as to pharmaceutical professionals who are seeking new
therapies and drugs for coronary artery disease and related
disorders.
