second edition of  Preventive Cardiology  eBooks

The second edition of the download free ASPC Manual of Preventive Cardiology written by Nathan D. Wong 2th edition eBook as pdf is an essential resource for physicians, medical students, residents, fellows, nurses, and other healthcare professionals and researchers in cardiology, primary care, health promotion and disease prevention, exercise physiology, and pharmacotherapy.

Despite significant declines in cardiovascular disease mortality over much of the last half century, rates have begun to rise once again, and annual healthcare costs due to cardiovascular diseases in the United States approach one trillion dollars.  Cardiovascular disease has become the leading cause of death in more and more developing countries worldwide, fueled largely by the obesity and diabetes epidemic, which is also driving increases in cardiovascular disease in the United States. While coronary heart disease has traditionally been the focus of preventive cardiology, more comprehensive approaches addressing prevention of peripheral vascular disease, stroke, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, as well as cardiovascular disease related comorbidities including diabetes and chronic kidney disease are needed.

Moreover, management limited to traditional risk factors such as cholesterol, blood pressure, and smoking needs to be greatly expanded with the advent of newer therapies to reduce cardiovascular disease risk in diabetes, evidence of benefit from treating inflammation, as well as the role of genetic evaluation to target those most likely to respond to risk reducing therapies. This new edition of download free ASPC Manual of Preventive Cardiology written by Nathan D. Wong 2th edition eBook as pdf for Preventive Cardiology (ASPC) Manual of Preventive Cardiology features significant updates from newer guide-lines of the American College of Cardiology, American Heart Association, and other societies for cardiovascular risk assessment and risk factor management.

 in just the last 5 years, we have witnessed perhaps a generation of advances in the field of preventive cardiology that have been incorporated into this new edition. The advent of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors has brought low density lipoprotein cholesterol to lower levels than ever before, in many cases below 20 mg/dL, further addressing the problem of “residual risk” in our high-risk patients. This occurred simultaneously with release of key trials of sodium- glucose transport protein 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLPI) receptor agonists, the first diabetes therapies to show cardiovascular risk reduction benefits.

Moreover, the first two trials  of download free ASPC Manual of Preventive Cardiology written by Nathan D. Wong 2th edition eBook as pdf to prove the link between inflammation and atherosclerosis and its clinical sequelae have leveraged novel mechanisms to reduce cardiovascular disease risk. The end of the last decade toppe off by the first fish oil therapy, ieosapent ethyl, to further reduce risk for cardiovascular events beyond statin therapy in high-risk patients.

preface of this edition

The contributors of the 29 chapters in this new edition are experts in their respective fields of preventive cardiology and, along with the editors, have dedicated their careers to advancing this field. While each chapter includes much relevant scientific discussion of the latest clinical trials and other research, the goal of the ASPC Manual of Preventive Cardiology is to address contemporary, practical therapeutic approaches that enhance the practice of preventive cardiology by the wide range of providers essential for its practice-ranging from lifestyle interventionists, such as dietitians and exercise physiologists, to nurses and nurse practitioners, pharmacists, primary care providers, and specialists including endocrinologists and cardiologists.

Guidance is also provide for development of a preventive cardiology center that encompasses this range of healthcare providers essential for optimizing cardio-vascular disease prevention in our communities. It is hope the download free ASPC Manual of Preventive Cardiology write by Nathan D. Wong 2th edition eBook as pdf will serve as the authoritative and most up-to-date source of clinically relevant information for healthcare providers, scientists, and trainees in the United States and beyond who have an interest in or who have dedicated their careers to prevent cardiovascular disease in their patients and communities.
