Description
Epidemiological, clinical and experimental studies provide strong and consistent evidence that nutritional factors play an important role in the etiology of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). This volume, featuring contributions by leading authorities in the field, updates current views and presents the latest research findings on nutrition and cardiovascular risks. The first section highlights the relationship between nutrition and CVD from an epidemiological perspective, while the second section critically evaluates dietary survey methods. The third section focuses on nutritional and biochemical aspects of CVD. Topics discussed include molecular biological approaches to atherosclerosis research, the importance of oxygen free radicals, and the role of proteins and fats in CVD.
