Description

Cardiometabolic Diseases: Molecular Basis, Early Detection of Risks, and Management provides detailed information on all aspects of metabolic dysfunctions and associated risks for cardiometabolic diseases, including a thoughtful discussion of cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the progression of metabolic risks, approaches for the early detection, and robust management of metabolic risks. Written by a team of expert contributors, this book is useful reading for researchers and clinicians interested on recent advances in etiology of cardiometabolic diseases, the latest noninvasive approaches for diagnosis, risk assessment tools, therapeutic strategies, and also aspects of prevention of cardiometabolic diseases.

Key features

  • Covers all aspects of cardiometabolic diseases, from cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the development of metabolic risks to clinical practice
  • Provides established guidelines that facilitate effective management of the independent risk factors that promote vascular diseases
  • Discusses the use of diagnostic tools to empower patients to self-monitor the progress or regress of modifiable risks

Readership

Researchers interested on the complexity of cardiometabolic diseases, cardiovascular fellows, and endocrinologists, Public health workers, medical students and pharma companies
