ENGLISH SUMMARY
Coronary artery disease affects thousands of Icelanders and is the most
common cause of death in Iceland. In recent years great strides have
been taken towards deeper understanding and improved treatment of
this common disease, resulting in markedly improved outcomes. This
evidence based review article is the first of two on coronary artery
diseases. It will discuss the epidemiology and pathogenesis of coronary
artery disease but also clinical presentation and diagnostic work-up.
The review is aimed at a wide readership of physicians, other health
care providers and students of health sciences. Current literature will be
reviewed with special focus on recent Icelandic studies.
