Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of morbidity and
mortality in the United States and around the world. Major risk
factors for CVD result from poor lifestyle habits and practices,
but the area of lifestyle medicine has emerged to help clinicians
and their patients understand the power of positive lifestyle
habits and actions. Written by cardiologist and lifestyle medicine
pioneer, Dr. James Rippe, Integrating Lifestyle Medicine in
Cardiovascular Health and Disease Prevention introduces the
principles of lifestyle medicine with the practice of cardiology to
help lower the risk of heart disease and, if already present,
assist in its treatment. This book provides evidence-based
information on both the prevention and treatment of CVD through
lifestyle measures such as regular physical activity, sound
nutrition, weight management and avoidance of tobacco products.
This information aids physicians and patients to better understand
multiple linkages between poor habits and practices, employing them
with associated behavioral techniques to lessen the likelihood of
developing CVD. Features: Summarizes major issues in CVD including
heart attack, stroke, atrial fibrillation, high blood pressure,
lipid abnormalities and obesity. Provides protocols for overcoming
a sedentary lifestyle and using lifestyle medicine techniques to
optimize brain health. Empowers clinicians with vital information
for consultations on the power of lifestyle medicine practices,
both to treat symptoms if already present or to prevent major
components of CVD from developing in the future. Written for
practitioners at all levels, this user-friendly volume in the
Lifestyle Medicine series is valuable to practitioners in general
medicine or subspecialty practices including lifestyle medicine and
cardiology.
