This book discusses all aspects of non-pharmacologic approaches to
primary and secondary CVD prevention. It highlights the strength of
evidence for particular diet styles in CVD prevention, including
plant-based diets, the Mediterranean diet, the DASH diet, and
low-carbohydrate diets. Chapters present evidence and future directions
for diet and nutrition in diseases related to CVD, such as dyslipidemia,
cardiometabolic disease (pre-diabetes, the metabolic syndrome, type-2
diabetes mellitus), and obesity. Finally, the book reviews novel and
emerging aspects of dietary intervention in CVD prevention, such as
dietary approaches to inflammation and the role of the microbiome in
CVD.
Up-to-date, evidence-based, and clinically oriented, Prevention and
Treatment of Cardiovascular Disease: Nutritional and Dietary
Approaches is an essential resource for physicians, residents, fellows,
and medical students in cardiology, clinical nutrition, family medicine,
endocrinology, and lipidology.
