Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

counselling or psychotherapy course, trainee counsellors,

area of health care, management and education, and counsellors
working in the voluntary sector. It provides insight into various

'Cardiovascular Disease' is the fourth monograph in the series on
management and treatment in major clinical sub specialties or
patient groups. Each book is complete in its own right and has been
prepared by practising physicians with specialist experience and a
particular interest in treatment and management. The series has
been prepared to fill a gap between standard textbooks of medicine
and therapeutics and research reviews, symposia and original
articles in specialist fields. The volumes aim to give
authoritative, up-to-date advice on treatment and management which
will be of use to both specialists and non-specialists and allow
recent advances and developments to be seen in the context of
contemporary clinical practice. The first three volumes dealt
respectively with gastroin testinal diseases, rheumatic diseases
and treatment in the elderly. Cardiovascular disease covers the
range of common diseases affect ing the heart and the circulation.
In view of the importance of coronary heart disease as a cause of
death and morbidity a substan tial part of the book is devoted to
description of the factors asso ciated with coronary artery disease
(hyperlipidaemia and hypertension) and their management by drug and
non-drug means. A further five chapters are devoted to the clinical
syndromes asso ciated with coronary heart disease and their
management. These not only consider acute 'in hospital' management,
including sur gery, but also address epidemiological questions,
including approaches to secondary prevention of myocardial
infarction."
