Will address an important, yet underrepresented, topic. The correlation
between viruses and atherosclerosis has been a focal point of the
authors' work, for a number of years. This volume will explore the
relationship between different viral strains and atherosclerosis. It
will begin by describing the hypothesis and denoting the mechanisms of
virus-driven atherosclerosis, then expanding on the subject by focusing
on different virus strains--from Herpes, to Epstein-Barr, to the triad
of Hepatitis viruses, et al--on a chapter-by-chapter basis. While there
are books, albeit few, that cover particular viral strains and their
relationship to cardiovascular diseases, this work will be unique in its
scope by considering multiple strains of viruses, making it a repository
of information on the topic; a truly comprehensive volume.
