Atherosclerosis Risk Factors provides practitioners, laboratorians,
and researchers with information about specific characteristics --
called risk factors -- that may be predictive of the development of
atherosclerosis. It examines the evidence demonstrating that changing
these risk factors impacts the subsequent risk of progression. In
essence, the aim of the book is to provide the reader with insight
regarding which biochemical atherosclerosis risk factors provide
clinically relevant information that will assist the clinician
medically -- rather than anatomically -- preventing, arresting, or
reversing this disease process, particularly in the coronary
arteries. The book also addresses the vascular biology of
atherosclerosis and the epidemiologic and analytical criteria for
establishing causality of a risk factor, and provides an overview of
the anatomy, physiology, and pathology of the cardiovascular system.
We hope the reader will find Atherosclerosis Risk Factors a
thought-provoking yet practical tool to help guide strategy for
atherosclerosis risk factor assessment.
