内容説明

This comprehensive textbook describes the epidemiology and prevention of ischaemic heart disease. It is written by an outstanding international team of contributors and covers major areas of new work that hold great promise for future knowledge. It deals with aetiology, appropriate methodology, and the application of research data to the development of policy, showing how epidemiologists can use their knowledge to inform and analyse public health policies. It charts changes that have occured in coronary heart disease mortality, following its emergence in countries undergoing economic development and other changes. The contributors emphasize the important established risk factors for heart disease and the increasing importance of public health as an end point of epidemiological research. This book is for all those who require an up to date view of coronary heart disease epidemiology, and those who will appreciate that coronary heart disease serves as an instructive example of the application of research to the formation and evaluation if public health policy. It is an excellent reference for medical students as well as a text for more advanced students and practitioners of epidemiology and public health, and will also be essential for those actively concerned with the prevention of cardiovascular disease. Coronary heart disease epidemiology, praised in reviews by leading medical journals for its authority and comprehensiveness, is now available for the first time in paperback at a price that makes it accessible to all medical students. This book is intended for postgraduate students and practitioners in epidemiology, public health, and cardiology worldwide; all those concerned with the prevention of coronary heart disease (primary health care professionals, policy makers, and planners) worldwide.
