Abstract
Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death in the UK with a high clinical, social and economic burden. The management of acute coronary syndromes is rapidly evolving and clinicians are constantly challenged with incorporating new clinical pathways and guidelines into their practices. It is important for clinicians to have a sound working knowledge of acute coronary syndromes, and be updated on the emerging evidence to guide therapy and improve outcomes in these patients.
