1 online resource (ix, 488 pages) : illustrations
Explores the underlying mechanisms of insulin resistance and the metabolic syndrome as they relate to coronary heart disease, heart failure, hypertension, and secondary cardiovascular problems. Combines theory with practice in meaningful applications that detail how to manage your at-risk patients. Provides the help needed to formulate rational therapeutic interventions that will effectively prevent or mitigate the manifestations of the conditions that have emerged as key precursors to cardiovascular disease.
