The topic of heart failure is continuously changing, with new important information being added constantly. The pathophysiology is better understood and there is a trend for a better characterization of special groups of population, such as oncologic patients with heart failure. The new imaging techniques have become valuable tools for t...

It therefore provides a critical resource on microcirculation for both specialist and non-specialist practitioners.
This is the world’s first reference book covering the role of Yoga in Cardiovascular Diseases. It details epidemiology, physiology, pathology, prevention, and management of cardiovascular diseases based on the current scientific understanding of Yoga. Seventy-five experts from four continents, including the most notable names, contributed to this work to create the world’s first comprehensive reference literature on Yoga in cardiovascular medicine. The chapters cover information related to Yoga, both as prevention and therapy, including coronary artery disease, heart failure, and arrhythmias. In addition, important cardiovascular topics like obesity and diabetes mellitus are also included. A special chapter covers the role of Yoga in the prevention of cardiovascular complications in COVID-19 patients.
This book explains how hypertension affects 20-50% of the adult population in developed countries.

Since the 1960s we have learned that cardiovascular complications and diabetes mellitus are closely intertwined: type 2 diabetes increases the likelihood of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and accelerated vascular disease. Thus the growing pandemic of diabetes worldwide is responsible for increasing death and disability from atherosclerotic vascular disease, the number one cause of death today. This publication spells out the enormity of the problem and the demographic forces at play. In the first part of the book the fundamental mechanisms responsible for vascular involvement in diabetes at the genetic, molecular, tissue, organ and organismal levels are described. The second part provides a detailed description of the various clinical aspects and the currently available therapeutic and preventive measures for diabetes, such as lifestyle changes, angiotensin II receptor blockers, biguanides and fibrates.
O carte periculoasă! Cartea pe care o ţineţi în mână este periculoasă. Incomodă, scorţoasă, incendiară fiind, în mod cert, va deranja unele personaje, nelipsite de importanţă, din arena politicii româneşti, care confundă adeseori politica cu diletantismul, trădând interesele susţinute cu atâta patos în campaniile electorale. În mod sigur, Nu trădaţi, vă rog! va alarma edilii capitalei ce se întrec în a distruge „micul Paris” de pe vremuri.

Nici detaşarea…
