Description
This state-of-the-art reference discusses nonsurgical treatment to prevent, arrest, or reverse the progression of atherosclerosis-outlining specific methods to reduce coronary risk factors, including hypercholesterolemia, cigarette smoking, hypertension, hyperinsulinemia, and hypoestrogenemia.
Suggests that medical approaches may be more effective than bypass surgery or angioplasty in managing coronary artery disease!
Presenting atherosclerosis as a diffuse, nonisolated disease that cannot be adequately treated by focusing on individual lesions, Medical Management of Atherosclerosis
analyzes the effect of gonadal hormones, especially estrogens, on the process of atherosclerosis
describes pharmacological interventions combined with blood pressure lowering, lipid reduction, and hormone therapies
furnishes guidelines for bringing atherosclerosis prevention regimens into clinical practice
addresses the cost effectiveness of atherosclerosis intervention
examines the potential of genetics and gene therapy in treating atherosclerosis
and much more!
Containing over 1000 bibliographic citations, tables, and drawings, Medical Management of Atherosclerosis is an important resource for cardiologists, cardiothoracic surgeons, internists, family practice and primary care physicians, and interns, residents, fellows, and medical school students in these disciplines.
