Book excerpt: PREVENTIVE CARDIOLOGY is the premier source of clinically relevant information on the prevention of coronary heart disease. Thoroughly updated by international experts, the book discusses screening, risk factors, prevention in special populations, and primary and secondary prevention in the context of the daily practice of medicine. PREVENTIVE CARDIOLOGY is a "must have" for cardiologists and primary care physicians. Review of the first edition: "Excellent...Structured in a way that invites the reader to use it as a comprehensive reference...The combination of theory and guidelines with a practical approach to the patient at risk for cardiovascular diseases is a strength."
