Preventive Cardiology: Companion to Braunwald's Heart Disease

In Stock




Endorsed by the American Society for Preventive Cardiology! Preventive Cardiology - a new Companion to Braunwald's
Heart Disease - addresses the prevention and risk stratification of cardiovascular disease so that you can delay the
onset of disease and moderate the effects and complications. Drs. Roger Blumenthal, JoAnne Foody, and Nathan Wong
discuss the full range of relevant considerations, including the epidemiology of heart disease, risk assessment, risk
factors, multiple risk factor-based prevention strategies, and developments in genetics and personalized medicine. With
access to the fully searchable text online at www.expertconsult.com, this authoritative reference gives you the
clinically relevant information you need for the effective prevention of cardiovascular disease.
