Following the success of previous edition, Early Vascular Aging
(EVA), Second Edition, continues to be the most comprehensive and
authoritative resource on the premature alterations in artery
structure and function.The book presents a novel approach to the
problem of cardiovascular disease, showing it in relation to great
vessels disease and revealing a comprehensive approach to the
problem of increased rigidity of the great vessels, its causes, and
further consequences. This second edition contains completely
updated content with expanded coverage of basic and translational
research, systematic reviews of the most prominent literature,
discussion of applicability of new evidence and more.Written by an
international team of clinicians and researchers, this is a
valuable resource to basic and translational scientists, clinical
researchers and clinicians in the cardiovascular field interested
in prevention, diagnosis and treatment of EVA.
Early Vascular Aging (EVA): New Directions in Cardiovascular
Protection brings together the last decade of research related to
the characterization of EVA as well as the predictive power of
pulse wave velocity (PWV). The book presents a novel approach to
the problem of cardiovascular disease, showing it in relation to
great vessels disease, revealing a comprehensive approach to the
problem of increase rigidity of the great vessels, its causes and
consequences.
Introduces the latest information on early vascular aging (EVA),
complete with summaries of recent evidence and guidelines for
relevant risk factor control. Contains all the relevant information
available from different fields of knowledge (from basic biology to
epidemiology) in regard to EVA. Provides evidence that leads to a
new target for interventions - early vascular ageing (EVA) in
subjects with early onset increased arterial stiffness.Includes
online access to a supplemental website with video clips of
anatomic specimens, cardiac imaging, and surgical procedures.

Experiments in innovation, design, and democracy that search not
for a killer app but for a collaboratively created sustainable
future. Innovation and design need not be about the search for a
killer app. Innovation and design can start in people's everyday
activities. They can encompass local services, cultural production,
arenas for public discourse, or technological platforms. The
approach is participatory, collaborative, and engaging, with users
and consumers acting as producers and creators. It is concerned
less with making new things than with making a socially sustainable
future. This book describes experiments in innovation, design, and
democracy, undertaken largely by grassroots organizations,
non-governmental organizations, and multi-ethnic working-class
neighborhoods. These stories challenge the dominant perception of
what constitutes successful innovations. They recount efforts at
social innovation, opening the production process, challenging the
creative class, and expanding the public sphere. The wide range of
cases considered include a collective of immigrant women who
perform collaborative services, the development of an open-hardware
movement, grassroots journalism, and hip-hop performances on city
buses. They point to the possibility of democratized innovation
that goes beyond solo entrepreneurship and crowdsourcing in the
service of corporations to include multiple futures imagined and
made locally by often-marginalized publics. Contributors Mans
