Preventive Cardiology: Insights Into the Prevention and Treatment of Cardiovascular Disease

edited by JoAnne Micale Foody, M.D., associate professor of medicine (cardiology) (Humana Press) This new three-part edition provides an overview of opportunities to prevent the progression or, in some instances, reverse the process of coronary atherosclerosis and incorporate these strategies into the daily practice of clinical medicine. It represents a move away from the emphasis in the 1990s on technological interventions toward a molecular perspective. This book provides clinical cardiologists, internists, primary care providers and allied health care professionals with the tools and understanding necessary for practicing preventive cardiology.
