The Impact of Nutrition and Statins on Cardiovascular Diseases presents a summary of the background information and published research on the role of food in inhibiting the development of cardiovascular diseases. Written from a food science, food chemistry, and food biochemistry perspective, the book provides insights on the origin of cardiovascular diseases, an analysis of statin therapy, their side effects, and the role of dietary intervention as an alternative solution to preventing cardiovascular diseases. It focuses on the efficacy of nutrition and statins to address inflammation and inhibit the onset of disease, while also providing nutrition information and suggested dietary interventions.

Dr Alexandros Tsoupras studied Chemistry-Biochemistry (BSc, MSc and PhD; Department of Chemistry, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece), with scholarships, where he also worked as a Postgraduate-Postdoctoral Research-Teaching Associate, and then at the "Albany Medical College" (NY, USA). Alexandros was also a Lecturer in Greek Colleges, a Public Servant-Scientist, and then a Post-Doctoral Research-Teaching Associate at the University of Limerick (Department of Biological Sciences), Ireland, where he was promoted as an Assistant Professor, while since 2023 he is an Assistant Professor at the Democritus University of Thrace (Department of Chemistry, Kavala, Greece). He studies the implications of thrombo-inflammation and oxidative stress in chronic diseases, as well as the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of several natural bioactives and/or synthetic compounds, as ingredients for functional foods, cosmetics and/or drugs with health promoting effects, with participations in more than 80 scientific publications (2500 references, h-index=24, Scopus), in Scientific Conferences and patents-inventions
