Written by the world's foremost authorities, this volume provides comprehensive
coverage of current approaches to the prevention, diagnosis, and management of
atherothrombosis and its coronary and noncoronary complications. This edition
has been thoroughly updated, sharply focused on clinical information, and
trimmed to one manageable volume. Coverage begins with a review of risk factors
and prevention, emphasizing lipid abnormalities, hypertension, smoking,
diabetes, and obesity. Subsequent sections examine the pathogenesis of
atherosclerosis, markers and imaging, acute coronary syndromes, chronic stable
angina, and noncoronary atherothrombosis. Clinical presentations, medical
management, and the latest interventional strategies are included.
