Intensive Care Medicine in Coronary Artery Disease: Latest Advances and Prospects

Dear Colleagues,

Ischemic heart disease is the leading cause of death globally, and the management of acute myocardial infarction always involves the infrastructure of healthcare and public safety. Advanced progress has been noticed in the past decades in managing coronary artery disease in emergency and critical care, including medications, endovascular therapy and surgical intervention. Besides, improving the quality of care is also pivotal in decreasing the time to revascularization and managing complications.

The main aim of this Special Issue of Medicina is to highlight contemporary advances in acute care for coronary artery disease in emergency and critical care. This Special Issue is open to studies for new techniques or strategies, decision-making, clinical outcome research, quality improvement, and systematic reviews and meta-analyses in coronary artery disease care. Besides, we are also interested in studies regarding the impact of COVID-19 on coronary artery disease management.

The journal Medicina is a peer-reviewed open-access scientific journal with a Q2 ranking in the field of General Medicine. In this Special Issue, papers focused on acute coronary artery disease care updates are highly welcomed. We wish to solicit studies from different perspectives, including emergency, critical care, nursing care, quality improvement, bench or clinical study design, case management, pharmacological therapy, endovascular or surgical intervention, and meta-analysis.
