Synopsis

Early Vascular Aging (EVA): New Directions in Cardiovascular Protection brings together the last decade of research related to the characterization of EVA, as well as the predictive power of pulse wave velocity (PWV). The book presents a novel approach to the problem of cardiovascular disease, showing it in relation to great vessels disease and revealing a comprehensive approach to the problem of increased rigidity of the great vessels, its causes, and further consequences. Information provided is accompanied by online access to a supplemental website with video clips of anatomic specimens, cardiac imaging, and surgical procedures. * Introduces the latest information on early vascular aging (EVA), complete with summaries of recent evidence and guidelines for relevant risk factor control* Ideal reference for the study of vascular aging, pulse wave velocity, arteriosclerosis, EVA, arterial stiffness, vascular, PWV biomarkers, and cardiovascular disease* Contains all the relevant information available from different fields of knowledge (from basic biology to epidemiology) in regard to EVA* Provides evidence that leads to a new target for interventions, early vascular aging (EVA) in subjects with early onset increased arterial stiffness* Includes online access to a supplemental website with video clips of anatomic specimens, cardiac imaging, and surgical procedures

About this title

Review:

"... it builds on the evidence in previous chapters, eventually signing off with a discussion of possible means to retard vascular aging...a good start on the expanding field of EVA. Score: 82 - 3 Stars" --Doody's
