Description and Table of Contents
Description
Coronary disease, hypertension, stroke, rheumatic fever, and congenital heart disease are among the cardiovascular diseases that have interacting genetic and environmental causes. The authors provide an assessment of the multifactorial causes of these and other cardiovascular diseases, emphasizing genetics, epidemiology, and prevention. This integration of approaches aims to broaden the book's appeal to include human geneticists, cardiovascular specialists, and epidemiologists.
