The Impact of Nutrition and Statins on Cardiovascular Diseases
Resources
Description
Key Features
- Includes a bioscience approach that focuses on inflammation and revisits the lipid hypothesis
- Presents the view that nutritional interventions have considerable value, not only for reducing cardiovascular risk for CVDs patients, but also acting as the best precaution for otherwise healthy people
- Advocates that nutritional habits that are formed at a young age are the best way to tackle the global epidemic that is CVDs
Readership
Nutrition researchers, CVDs and public health researchers, CVDs clinicians, Nutritionists and Dietitians, Students in health related fields, Food Chemists and Food Biochemists (Academic, R+D, industrial), Regulatory bodies

The Impact of Nutrition and Statins on Cardiovascular Diseases
It is a thorough and in-depth analysis of the pathobiochemical processes of cardiovascular diseases with a special focus on the lipid theory and the current treatment guidelines with statins. The main achievement of this book ist the detailed treatment of the biochemical processes, and their relation to nutrition.
