ACS in Special Populations: Women, Diabetic, and Elderly Patients
Abstract
This chapter explores the unique challenges and clinical variations in diagnosing and managing Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) in special populations, including women, elderly patients, and individuals with comorbidities such as diabetes. It highlights the impact of biological, physiological, and social factors on symptom presentation, disease progression, and treatment outcomes. Special attention is given to gender differences, including the atypical presentation of ACS in women and their increased risk of adverse outcomes. Additionally, the chapter discusses the complexities of managing ACS in older adults and patients with multiple comorbid conditions. Through evidence-based insights and case examples, readers will gain an in-depth understanding of how to tailor their diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for diverse patient populations.
