Summary
Extraordinary advances in the understanding of the relationships between nutrition, metabolism, and cardiovascular disease have prompted a systematic reappraisal of recent knowledge in the field. Focusing on knowledge from the last two to three years, this timely volume examines and updates the role of obesity, hyperlipidemia diabetes, hypertension, thrombosis, and ageing in atherogenesis. It describes in detail the scientific and clinical evidence of the etiopathogenesis of ischemic heart disease as well as of peripheral and cerebrovascular disease.
