Dear Colleagues,

It is my great pleasure and honor to announce this Special Issue on “Contemporary Management of Special Subsets of Acute Coronary Syndromes Patients”. In recent decades, treatment and outcome of patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) have significantly improved. Reperfusion therapy together with antithrombotic strategies have dramatically decresed the rate of adverse clinical events of patients hospitalized with ACS worldwide. However, different subgroups of patients such as those who develop cardiogenic shock or acute heart failure, those on dialysis or the so-called frail patients, still present very high event rates. In these patients, a personalization of care is highly desirable. In this Special issue we want to summarize and comment on the current evidence in favor of a specific treatment in each single subgroup of patients with ACS at high risk and try to identify specific diagnostic-therapeutic pathways.

We look forward to receiving your original research or review articles.

Dr. Leonardo De Luca
