Cannon, MD, and a team of preeminent clinical investigators have
thoroughly revised and expanded every chapter to reflect the recent
explosion of clinical trials on the management of acute coronary
syndromes (ACS). This includes: the newer tests, such as C reactive
protein; a multimarker approach to diagnosis and risk
stratification; new antiplatelet agents; and combinations of
thrombolytic-antithrombotic regimens. Also discussed are the latest
developments in interventional cardiology, the use of
cost-effectiveness in clinical trials to choose appropriate
therapies, and the employment of critical pathways analysis to
improve compliance with evidence-based medicine and guideline
recommendations.

Dyslipidemia affects almost half of American adults and is the most
prevalent manageable risk factor for atherosclerosis. Lipid
disorders often co-occur with other prevalent conditions such as
diabetes and kidney disease; they are also often a concern with
certain medication regimens (such as anti-retroviral and certain
anti-psychotic agents). Proper treatment of dyslipidemia can reduce
the risk of peripheral arterial disease, revascularization
procedures, nonfatal myocardial infarction, stroke, and cardiac
death. However, only 20% of adults meet the national guidelines for
cholesterol control. As part of the Oxford American Cardiology
Library, this practical handbook is designed to serve as a concise
yet authoritative resource on diagnosing and treating dyslipidemia.
The book is tailored to the needs of busy health care professionals
treating patients in various clinical settings, and focuses on
presenting essential information to clinicians who are at the
forefront of the diagnosis and management of dyslipidemia.
Featuring evidence-based, concise yet comprehensive discussion of
key clinical concepts in addition to numerous figures, tables and
illustrations, this pocket-sized handbook will serve as an
invaluable guide to healthcare professionals. Features: * Authored
by a renowned international group of experts on dyslipidemia. *
Chapters include vignettes to enhance clinical relevance.
