Description:
Encompassing functional cardiology, integrative medicine, and metabolic medicine/cardiology, this unique reference
offers an up-to-date, expert approach to heart health wellness and treating the diseased heart and blood vessels.
It provides today’s practitioners with insight into various treatment options and alternatives to pharmaceutical care
and surgery, incorporating new scientific information on metabolic and integrative cardiovascular medicine from peer-
reviewed articles, evidence-based medicine, and human clinical research as a foundation for practical clinical
information.
– ideally suited for practitioners who already incorporate integrative approaches in their practice, as well as more
traditional clinicians who want to learn more about this growing area.
