Asymptomatic Atherosclerosis
Despite recent advances in the diagnosis and treatment of symptomatic atherosclerosis, available traditional screening methods for early detection and treatment of asymptomatic coronary artery disease are grossly insufficient and fail to identify the majority of victims prior to the onset of a life-threatening event. In Asymptomatic Atherosclerosis: Pathophysiology, Detection and Treatment, Dr. Morteza Naghavi and leading authorities from the Society for Heart Attack Prevention and Eradication (SHAPE) present a new paradigm for the screening and primary prevention of asymptomatic atherosclerosis. The text focuses on accurate, yet underutilized, measures of subclinical atherosclerosis, notabl...
Hemostasis and Thrombosis
The pre-eminent reference on coagulation disorders is now in its thoroughly updated Fifth Edition. Written by more than 160 of the world's foremost authorities, this encyclopedic volume integrates basic science and clinical practice and details all that is currently known about blood clotting disorders and how to manage patients with these and related problems. This edition has been reorganized into smaller, more tightly focused chapters to help readers find information easily. A new co-editor, Samuel Z. Goldhaber, MD, has expanded the cardiology portion of the book. Other new features include a two-color page design and more than 100 full-color illustrations.
Extracellular Matrix: Pathobiology and Signaling
Over the last decades cell biology and biological chemistry have increasingly turned their attention to the space between cells and revealed an elaborate network of macromolecules essential for structural support, cell adhesion and signaling. This comprehensive handbook of the extracellular matrix will give an overview of the current state of knowledge of matrix components (structure and function), their role in heath and disease (matrix pathobiology) and new aspects related to pharmacological targeting. It will provide an introduction to the extracellular matrix and detailed sections and chapters on: Importance of extracellular matrix in health and disease Matrix proteoglycans (aggrecan, ve...

Atherosclerosis: Diet and Drugs
Cardiovascular diseases continue to be the leading cause of death in the - jority of industrialized countries. The most frequent underlying pathology, namely atherosclerosis, and its clinical sequelae, namely coronary heart d- ease, cerebrovascular disease and peripheral artery disease, remain common although for a long time we have been made aware of avoidable or mo- ?able etiological factors such as smoking, fat-rich diet or lack of exercise, and although these adverse lifestyle factors have been extensively addressed by population-wide primary prevention programs. Cardiovascular morbidity and mortality also remain high despite successful anti-hypertensive and lipid lowering drug therapies...
Pathology, Toxicogenetics, and Criminalistics of Drug Abuse
Beginning with a definition and explanation of scheduling of controlled substances, Pathology, Toxicogenetics, and Criminalistics of Drug Abuse covers investigative methods for all illegal drugs and several legitimate pharmaceuticals that are used illicitly, including steroids. It covers the latest techniques used to analyze drugs in the forensic laboratory including physical characteristics and chemical confirmatory tests. It discusses new theories and findings in toxicogenetics, details pathologic changes in the body due to drug use, and examines specific effects on the heart, lung, and central nervous system. More that 70 tables and figures illustrate and complement the text and the information is supported by extensive references
Essentials of Restenosis
Leading interventional cardiologists, including Patrick Serruys, provide the gold-standard reference on the treatment of restenosis for interventional cardiologists. Dr. Serruys, who pioneered the use of drug-eluting stents, and other pioneers in the field, cover everything from non-invasive imaging, to eluting stents, to brachytherapy through to the latest molecular biology-based treatments including antisense, stem cells and gene therapy.
