The first text of its kind for nonspecialists, this book explains the link between blood lipids and coronary heart disease, an epidemic which kills over a quarter of the population in many western countries. Raised blood cholesterol is a major contributing factor which has been increasingly recognized by the medical profession and the public alike. The book discusses the major studies which have led to our current understanding and describes the diagnosis and management of lipid disorders. The authors also discuss the practical aspects of care, including changes in diet and lifestyle, the use of drugs, and reduction in other risk factors. The book is designed to help doctors detect and manage patients with lipid disorders; however, dieticians, nurses, and students will also find it readable and interesting, while the diets, recipes, and contacts for further information will be of use to patients.
