Book Description
The first atlas devoted specifically to cardiometabolic risk, this book provides a concise, visual primer on the pathophysiology, epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment, and clinical and radiologic features of this disorder. Describing recent care strategies and current practices in patient assessment, this source will allow clinicians to accurately identify and treat those patients at increased risk for metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes.
Authored by leading clinical researchers in the field of cardiometabolic risk, this guide:
- offers step-by-step diagnostic and therapeutic protocols
- contains clinical photographs, radiographic images, schematic illustrations, algorithms, and tables summarizing key information
- analyzes the biochemical, physiologic, and molecular features of insulin resistance and associated morbidities
- examines the latest studies that indicate increased cardiovascular risk in pre-diabetes
- reviews non-pharmacologic therapies in the prevention of type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndromes
- describes concepts in primordial care to reduce disease occurrence.
