Synopsis:

This uniquely illustrated atlas and text explains the evolution of atherosclerosis from initially minimal lipid deposits in the arteries of children, through histologically advanced but clinically silent lesions present in most younger adults, to lesion types that obstruct the vascular lumen and produce symptoms. To physicians and researchers, the volume offers a standard framework of histological morphologies of atherosclerotic lesions, providing a basis for correlation with morphologies determined by a variety of clinical imaging techniques and for recognizing changes in lesion progression, stabilization, or regression.

Review: "presented in a very visual and well illustrated mannerthe author addresses the reader with credible authorityI found the visuals, the impressive photos and illustrations, very helpful and uniquethis is a very high quality work providing detailed and easy to understand descriptions. This edition appears to focus more on lesions thought to be of more clinical relevance. The illustrative quality and easily readable, compact format distinguishes this work from other books." --Gabor F. Matos, MD, Loyola University Stritch School of Medicine for Doody's Review "In Dr. Stary's work we find the first coherent and systematic attempt to follow the development of coronary and aortic lesions." --Professor Sir Colin Berry "This beautifully illustrated book charts the histopathology and natural history of the atherosclerotic plaque ...[and is] of immense interest as a teaching aid" --D. Freeman in 'Arteriosclerosis "Book review editors are a cynical breed; it takes some doing to incite their enthusiasm. This book does just that. The Atlas is produced by an outstanding investigator. It speaks the visual language, which is very important in the understanding of atherosclerosis. It supplements a large amount of literature which focuses on mechanisms but provides little visual materialThis book is indispensable for clinical cardiovascular centres and for research institutions in the field. All in all, if you want to understand atherosclerosis, place the Atlas on your core reading list. Congratulations to the author and publisher for a job well done." - Marek H.
