Wiley-Blackwell Preventive Cardiology

A desire to avoid the massive social and financial costs associated with cardiovascular diseases has promoted a continued interest in preventive cardiology. Recent intervention studies have shown that the progress of these disorders may be arrested and potentially reversed. Other investigations have shown that primary prevention of cardiovascular disease is feasible using simple interventions. This book provides a comprehensive approach to cardiovascular wellness from a clinical perspective. Perhaps the most valuable area covered is the comprehensive presentation of a clinical prevention program. This includes guidelines for designing and operating a preventive cardiology clinic, core concepts, an outline of algorithm-driven clinical practice, and a look at such issues as patient flow and resource requirements. Review "Preventive Cardiology is a very useful reference." The New England Journal of Medicine "The contents of this book are timely in a rapidly advancing field of preventive cardiology. The chapters are contributed by well-known authors in the field of cardiovascular epidemiology, cardiovascular risk factors and preventive cardiology. The articles are evidence based and well referenced. The flow is very easy and lucid, with appropriate figures and tables. It is a valuable textbook ...highly recommended as a source book in the field." Canadian Journal of Cardiology "This book provides a concise and thorough summary of preventive cardiology. It is well written and provides a concise reference which should be useful to the busy practitioner who may not be able to spend as much time with other more extensive books..."
