Download or read book Hyperlipidaemia 3Ed written by Paul Durrington and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2007-07-27 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The third edition of this well-received text provides a state-of-the-art treatise on modern clinical practice relating to hyperlipidaemia and lipoprotein disorders, conditions responsible for a huge amount of morbidity and mortality in Western countries and, increasingly, the developing world. The clinical evidence underlying the treatment of hyperlipidaemia has burgeoned since the second edition published in 1994, with the publication of the results of several clinical trials on statin drugs, and the subsequent appearance of national and international guidelines for cholesterol lowering in coronary prevention. There has also been considerable development in the definition of cardiovascular risk, and the methodology for identifying high-risk patients. All of these aspects are addressed fully in the new edition. In addition, the book offers helpful summaries of the background biochemistry of lipoprotein metabolism and atherosclerosis where relevant, putting the subject in the context of its pathophysiology and epidemiology. The text relating to clinical aspects has a strong evidence base, reviewing, in particular, areas of uncertainty and controversy. Drawing on the wealth of experience of the author, and representing his widely respected views on the subject, readers will find this comprehensive, well-referenced and accessible book invaluable.

Download or read book Hyperlipidemia written by Basil M. Rifkind and published by Saunders. This book was released on 1977 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The diagnosis and management of hyperlipidemic and hyperlipoproteinemic states are explored from various points of view. Epidemiological observations show an inverse relationship between high density lipoprotein levels and coronary heart disease. Biochemical findings indicate how lipoproteins interact and exert their physiological and pathophysiological effects. Lipids and lipoproteins, in general are discussed. The plasma cholesteral health consequences involve lipid distribution. Research, review and evolution of clinical trials of lipid lowering to prevent coronary heart disease are included. Specific topics include various aspects of hyperlipoproteinemia: classification, diagnosis, primary and secondary types, genetic characteristics, dietary and drug treatment, and surgical management.
Download or read book The Hyperlipidaemia Handbook written by M. Godfrey and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1 Shepherd Coronary artery disease, the most important cause of death in the United Kingdom, kills about 200 000 Britons each year. Many victims are struck down out of the blue and in the prime of an active working life. Others survive the fIrst attack but are so debilitated by it that they are compelled to fall back on the efforts of their family and the Social and Health Services for their future survival. The epidemic proportions of the problem and the burden which it places on the community at large has led many health care professionals to reassess their attitudes to heart disease prevention. In the past, the clinician's attention has been directed primarily at the treatment of established ischaemic heart disease rather than focussing on forestalling its appearance by attempting to tackle those life-style habits within the population which appear to predispose to it. A number of recent developments make this approach hard to sustain. First, there is now convincing evidence that action taken against cigarette smoking, hyper tension and hypercholesterolaemia offers signifIcant protection to the individual. Secondly, effective and apparently safe antihypertensive and lipid-lowering agents have recently become available to the practicing clinician. Thirdly, developments in computer technology and laboratory equipment manufacture have brought the measurement of coronary risk factors right into the primary health care setting. And, last, but not least, political attitudes towards prevention now favour the enthusiastic general practitioner with an interest in anticipating and averting the development of degenerative diseases like atherosclerosis.

Download or read book Cholesterol and Beyond written by A. Stewart Truswell and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-06-22 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Only once in a great while does a book come along that really does the job in addressing a major medical issue. When this happens, all can be joyful... Readers will find ALL their favorite dietary puzzlements dealt with... With consummate scholarship, clarity and brevity, Truswell sifts out the chaff and identifies the critical questions, the responsible investigators, and the key studies.” So says Emeritus Professor Henry Blackburn from the University of Minnesota in the foreword to this remarkable concise book on the history of research on diet and heart disease. This was a theme of scientific, medical and public interest in the 20th Century, a century marked by the rise and fall of coronary heart disease as the major cause of death in the first world, followed by the rise of this cause of death in the developing world. There is obviously much to learn, and this book is an excellent starting point, tracing dietary factors and their role in heart disease one by one: fats, sugar, salt, alcohol, coffee, trans-fats, etc. Without an understanding of the role of diet and the changes that have been seen in the North American and NW European diet, the story of the decline in the heart disease death rate may have been very different.
