Prevention of Myocardial Infarction
Author: JoAnn E. Manson
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN:
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 592
Book Description
Coronary heart disease remains the leading cause of death in both men and women in most industrialized countries. Yet it is largely preventable, and health care providers can acquire the skills to help their patients reduce their risks substantially. Traditional risk factors such as cigarette smoking, hypercholesterolimia, hypertension, sedentary lifestyle, obesity and glucose intolerance explain a major proportion of coronary events. Recent evidence also suggests important adjunctive roles for hormone replacement therapy in postmenopausal women, and aspirin prophlaxis in individuals at high risk of a first myocardial infarction. Emerging evidence indicates an important role for diet in the prevention of heart disease. Although the importance of lifestyle and behavioral modifications may well be known among physicians and other health-care providers, the implementation of this knowledge has been limited. One reason is that the information supporting the value, feasibility and cost-effectiveness of risk-reduction strategies has not been previously synthesized and made widely available to health-care providers in office and community settings. Prevention of Myocardial Infarction fills these critical gaps by providing a state-of-the-art compendium of the scientific evidence on the efficacy of coronary disease prevention, while focusing on helping clinicians develop intervention skills to utilize available knowledge. Chapters by leading authorities in cardiovascular epidemiology, clinical cardiology, cost-effectiveness analysis, and public health translate the theory of preventive cardiology into feasible implementation. The counseling and other intervention strategies described in this textbook have documented clinical efficacy and cost-effectiveness, and they require little time to learn or implement. The book is written mainly for primary care providers, including general internists and family physicians, but will also be of interest to medical subspecialties such as cardiologists and endocrinologists, as well as medical students, dietitians, psychologists, epidemiologists, and students, practitioners, and researchers in public health.

Nutraceuticals and Cardiovascular Disease
Author: Arrigo F.G. Cicero
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030626326
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 300
Book Description
This book provides an evidence-based approach for the clinical use of nutraceuticals in the prevention and management of cardiovascular disease. It examines cardiovascular disease epidemiology, risk factors, and the role of dietary patterns. Clinical chapters discuss the use of nutraceuticals in the management of medical conditions such as dyslipidemia, hypertension, insulin resistance, and heart failure. Each chapter contains a short epidemiological background; a list of relevant active compounds and their efficacy, tolerability, and safety; and suggestions for prescribers. This book is a practical guide with the best clinical evidence supporting the use of nutraceuticals in cardiology. Nutraceuticals and Cardiovascular Disease: An Evidence-based Approach for Clinical Practice is an essential resource for physicians, residents, fellows, and medical students in cardiology, clinical nutrition, dietetics, and internal medicine.

Prevention and Treatment of Cardiovascular Disease
Author: Michael J. Wilkinson
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030781771
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 279
Book Description
This book discusses all aspects of non-pharmacologic approaches to primary and secondary CVD prevention. It highlights the strength of evidence for particular diet styles in CVD prevention, including plant-based diets, the Mediterranean diet, the DASH diet, and low-carbohydrate diets. Chapters present evidence and future directions for diet and nutrition in diseases related to CVD, such as dyslipidemia, cardiometabolic disease (pre-diabetes, the metabolic syndrome, type-2 diabetes mellitus), and obesity. Finally, the book reviews novel and emerging aspects of dietary intervention in CVD prevention, such as dietary approaches to inflammation and the role of the microbiome in CVD. Up-to-date, evidence-based, and clinically oriented, Prevention and Treatment of Cardiovascular Disease: Nutritional and Dietary Approaches is an essential resource for physicians, residents, fellows, and medical students in cardiology, clinical nutrition, family medicine, endocrinology, and lipidology.

Cardiovascular Risk Management
Author: W. Stephen Waring
Publisher: Elsevier Health Sciences
ISBN: 0443101744
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
For many years, individual cardiovascular risk factors have been dealt with in isolation, often by specialists with an interest in one particular risk factor, for example hypertension or hypercholesterolaemia. There has recently been a move to emphasise the importance of reducing global cardiovascular risk, which requires clinicians to address any one of a number of different risk factors. The interplay between these various factors is important in our understanding of development of cardiovascular disease and, similarly, the synergistic effects of targeting different risk factors is important in risk reduction. This text provides a comprehensive and up-to-date review of modern cardiovascular risk management. It belongs to the 'In Clinical Practice' series, which incorporate multiple illustrations using novel and effective formats. Data are frequently presented as bullet point lists or tables so that the key information is clearly available. The emphasis is on overall cardiovascular risk reduction throughout, with integration of lifestyle and pharmacological interventions. Jointly written by specialists and GPs to provide cutting edge information tailored perfectly for the primary care settingInclude management algorithms to provide quick reference treatment pathwaysCredible evidence-based sources - when possible, evidence base for best practice by reference to primary research or international guidelinesBullet lists and short tables for clear presentation of key information
