A team of specialists from the Silesian Medical University, supported by experts from other centers, prepared this compendium on the broadly understood care for patients after a heart attack. Patient groups with heart failure, atrial fibrillation, hyperlipidemia, young, elderly patients, patients with chronic kidney disease, diabetes, as well as patients with chronic lung disease, cancer patients, patients with depression and patients requiring non-cardiac surgery are discussed in detail.

An important part of this volume is the chapter on non-pharmacological management in secondary prevention. An interesting chapter is devoted to the little-known aspect of returning to work after a heart attack. The authors also look to the future, presenting areas of future research on this topic. The compendium is an excellent guide for cardiologists and internists in their daily practice, but also for students and doctors of other specialties who care for patients after an acute coronary syndrome.

Thanks to this compendium, doctors will be able to cooperate more effectively with other specialists, individualize therapy and improve the quality of life of their patients. This is an investment in the health and future of patients after a heart attack.
