The present book reveals the importance of preventive medicine in
cardiology and public health, addressing the lack of a broad
discussion of this topic in the current literature. It examines the
most important risk factors for different cardiovascular diseases,
discussing them in detail from a clinical standpoint and presenting
important information from a preventive medicine perspective.
Further, specific chapters discuss the burden of cardiologic risk
factors in special contexts, such as in women, child and
adolescents, and in low-income populations. Lastly, a number of
conditions that are often overlooked in terms of their
cardiological impact are discussed, such as Chagas disease,
rheumatic cardiomyopathy and post-traumatic stress disorder.
Cardiovascular diseases are still the major cause of death in the
world, even though they are considered preventable clinical
conditions. The increased prevalence of some risk factors for
cardiovascular diseases is an important concern for cardiologists
around the world. On the other hand, primary prevention programs
have proven their efficacy concerning some known and treatable risk
factors, such as with hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, diabetes
and smoking, but still need to be made more of a priority in public
health. Prevention of Cardiovascular Diseases is a book intended
for multi-disciplinary audience and aimed for all professionals who
are willing to face the challenge of cardiovascular prevention
