CVD, or cardiovascular disease, is a general term that describes a
disease of the heart or blood vessels. It is one of the most common
causes of death. Statins are a group of medicines that can help
lower the level of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol in the
blood. LDL cholesterol of often referred to as 'bad cholesterol',
and statins reduce its production in the liver. Having a high level
of LDL is potentially dangerous as it can lead to hardening and
narrowing of the arteries (NHS). Comprising nearly 1000 pages, this
book is a comprehensive guide to the latest advances in statin
therapy and its clinical application for cardiovascular disease.
Divided into 29 sections, the text begins with clinical aspects of
CVD, dyslipidemia (the imbalance of lipids such as cholesterol),
and the use of statins for treatment. The next sections provide
detailed discussion on the use of statins for different types of
CVD, including coronary artery disease, hypertension, heart
failure, arrhythmia, stroke, and more. The following chapters cover
statin use for other systemic diseases such as obesity, kidney
disease, diabetes, ocular disorders, skin conditions and many more.
The book concludes with an insight into future therapies, with
emphasis on PCSK9 inhibitors, a new treatment for lowering
cholesterol in the blood.
