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.
