Description

Lowering Plasma Cholesterol Reduces Total Mortality Rates ! Over the past several years tremendous advances have occurred in the understanding of atherothrombosis, plasma lipid metabolism and its relation to other metabolic factors, and how to reduce the risk for coronary heart disease (CHD). The goal of the book is to help physicians understand current CHD risk reduction findings and practice guidelines. Whilst it’s focus is still the control of dyslipidemia, the book also highlights perspectives regarding: SMOKING, HYPERTENSION, OBESITY, PHYSICAL INACTIVITY & DIABETES MELLITUS. and is also an important tool for reducing morbidity and mortality by diagnosis and treatment of lipid disorders. As well as containing the 2001 revised U.S. National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) guidelines for risk control in adults, (the first revision since 1993) MANUAL OF LIPID DISORDERS, 3RD EDITION, is a valuable and practical tool for understanding lipid disorders and reducing the risk for coronary heart disease.
Features:
  • Brief reviews of the synthesis, assembly, and transport of lipoproteins.
  • Current information about atherogenesis.
  • Key clinical trial results.
