The number of individuals who are obese or overweight has
dramatically increased over recent years and is now becoming
epidemic. These individuals are more likely to suffer
cardiovascular diseases and therfore physicians, specialists, and
trainees increasingly need to deal with these issues on the ward
and in clinic. As a result, the need for appropriate knowledge of
up-to-date clinical management of obesity and its associated
cardiovascular problems is essential for any practicing physician.
Obesity and Cardiovascular Disease is a readily assimilated pocket
guide to obesity and cardiovascular disease. It is intended to be
used "on-the-go" and is compact enough to be on hand while in
consultation with patients. It provides a clear and succinct
overview of contemporary clinical management of cardiovascular risk
stratification, and fully covers the diagnosis and treatment of
cardiovascular in obese patients and individuals with increased
visceral adiposity, translating up-to-date clinical research
findings into clinical practice. Particular emphasis is placed on
recent updates in practical care in obesity and cardiovascular
disease, such as new diagnostic techniques and novel
pharmacological and surgical approaches, as well as cardiac
visceral fact, ethnic differences in adiposity-related
cardiovascular risk, and metabolically healthy, but obese subjects.
Topics are presented in an easily accessible format with numerous
illustrations, photographs, tables, diagnostic and therapeutic
algorithms while highlight boxes summarize the main concepts
discussed in each chapter.
This book reports updated data from the literature on potential

their potential mechanisms are summarised and discussed. Chemical
characteristics and mechanisms of action of each drug are also
briefly described. Some new anti-obesity, anti-diabetes, lipid
lowering and anti-hypertensive drugs were also reported and briefly
discussed.
