Cardiovascular Disorders Sourcebook, 5ed

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in both men and women in the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 715,000 Americans suffer a heart attack and 600,000 people die of heart disease in the U.S. every year. Yet careful attention to diet, exercise, and control of diabetes, cholesterol levels, blood pressure, and weight can often prevent cardiovascular disease. Further, treatment advances have reduced the disabling health consequences when cardiovascular disease does occur.

Cardiovascular Disorders Sourcebook, 5th Edition, provides information about the risk factors, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disorders of the heart and blood vessels. Cardiovascular concerns specific to men, women, children, and minority populations are also discussed.
