Description

Cardiovascular Endocrinology and Metabolism: Theory and Practice of Cardiometabolic Medicine discusses the close intersection between metabolic disorders and cardiovascular disease, covering the basic science and pathophysiology of disease and the latest research in pharmacological approaches and translational therapeutic options. This book is a valuable resource for the vascular and endocrinology clinical and research communities in need of knowledge and potential outcomes.

The global increase in the prevalence of cardiometabolic disorders, and the introduction of therapeutic options for treating metabolic disease that also lower cardiovascular risk, is bringing endocrinologists and cardiologists together in a shared clinical experience.

Key features

  • Discusses the intersection between metabolic disorders and cardiovascular diseases
  • Provides a comprehensive understanding of the relevant pathophysiology of diseases as a basis for the evidence-based management of cardiometabolic disorders
  • Offers a comprehensive reference, ranging from basic science and pathophysiology to clinical diagnostics and management

Readership

Basic scientists working in translational endocrinology or cardiology, practicing endocrinologists and cardiologists

Review quotes

*4 stars* "...an excellent resource for understanding the relationship between diagnosing and treating metabolic/endocrine disorders from an evidence-based cardiovascular standpoint,… [a] compact overview of what may soon become its own field of practice. …The authors are experts in the fields of endocrinology and cardiology and the contributors include nephrology and gastroenterology perspectives as well…. Many chapters, such as those on SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP receptor agonists, include summary tables of cardiovascular data from the major associated clinical trials…. [C]ontains chapters on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease as well as hemostatic diseases as they pertain to cardiovascular endocrinology and metabolism. [A] more high-level, clinical, and evidence- based [book], with many more contributors from various academic centers."—©Doody’s Review Service, 2023, Jessica Hwang, MD (Cook County Health)
