Now, based on the apoB algorithm, that is outlined and illustrated in this book, family physicians as well as cardiologists, endocrinologists and internists will be able to easily and accurately identify and treat these disorders. The apoB dyslipoproteinemias are major common causes of vascular disease. But until now, accurate diagnosis has not been possible. With just total cholesterol, triglycerides and apoB, all the apoB dyslipoproteinemias, with the exception of elevated Lp(a), can be identified using the apoB algorithm. The apoB app, which incorporates this algorithm, is available from both Apple and Android and is free.

Dyslipidemia is a major risk factor for cardiovascular events, cardiovascular mortality, and all-cause mortality. The earlier in life dyslipidemia is treated, the better the prognosis. The current book is an excellent one on dyslipidemia written by experts on this topic. This book includes 12 chapters including 5 on lipids, 4 on hypercholesterolemia in children, and 3 on the treatment of dyslipidemia. This book should be read by all health care professionals taking care of patients, including pediatricians since atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease begins in childhood.

This timely, concise title provides an important update on clinical lipid management. Using information from recent clinical trials and in special populations, the book begins by offering an easy-to-read overview of LDL, HDL, and triglyceride metabolism and the genetics of lipid disorders. The link between inflammation and lipids, and how this relates to atherosclerosis development, is also addressed, as are the measures of subclinical atherosclerosis in patients with abnormal lipid levels. Lipid abnormalities in children, with a particular focus on vulnerable populations (with an emphasis on ethnicity and childhood obesity), are covered. The treatment goals and approaches for managing lipids in the clinic are thoroughly discussed, emphasizing the important role of statin use and addressing controversies of lipid management in special populations such as heart failure, end stage kidney disease and fatty liver disease. Of special note, an important update on how new HIV medications impact lipid levels is provided. In all, Lipid Management: From Basics to Clinic, is an invaluable, handy resource for understanding changes in lipids in different populations and for sharpening the clinical approach to managing complicated lipid cases.

The first comprehensive text on dyslipidemia from a major academic institution, this book covers all aspects of dyslipidemia as it relates to human disease, including coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular disease, peripheral vascular disease, and pancreatitis. The material is presented in a clinician-friendly format and includes references for additional reading. Reflecting current guidelines from the National Cholesterol Education Program, the book explains why, when, and how to treat dyslipidemia. Coverage includes dietary treatment, drug treatment, and recommendations for special populations such as patients with coronary heart disease, patients at high risk for coronary heart disease, patients with diabetes, women, older adults, young adults, and racial and ethnic groups.

Structure and Function of Apolipoproteins presents a comprehensive review of the primary and secondary structure of apolipoproteins. The book discusses the structure of the apolipoprotein gene family and genetic variation occurring at the protein level. Functional properties of apolipoproteins, including lipid binding, enzyme co-factor activity, antigenic properties, and receptor-ligand interactions are extensively described and analyzed in relation to their structural features. Physiological properties of apolipoproteins and their role in biology and medicine are also examined. Anyone who is interested in apolipoproteins or is conducting research on atherosclerosis should consider this volume an essential reference.

Fat consumption in western society has increased dramatically throughout the course of the twentieth century. As a consequence, coronary heart disease is now the most common cause of death from middle age onwards in much of the developed world. Yet trials have shown that lipid-lowering drugs can decrease the risk of coronary heart disease and stroke, and increase life expectancy. Using an evidence-based approach this illustrated guide offers practical solutions to the problems encountered by healthcare professionals in the clinical management of hyperlipidaemia.

This comprehensive work deals with the major health problem of high lipid levels in blood, a cause of serious heart and vascular disease. Formerly the province only of the chemical pathologist, cardiologists and general physicians are now offering treatment as new 'lipid-lowering' drugs become available. The area is also of considerable interest to public health physicians as changes in lifestyle (such as dietary and smoking habits) have significant effects on lipid levels. A prestigious team of contributors covers all aspects of the topic, from molecular biology to practical dietary management to help reduce lipid levels.

This book provides an overview of statin-associated muscle symptoms (SAMS) from clinical presentation to treatment and possible metabolic causes. It examines the risk factors, presentations, diagnosis and differential diagnosis, clinical management, and financial costs of SAMS. The book also highlights patients’ perspectives on SAMS such as the psychosocial, emotional, and societal factors influencing their perceptions and experiences. Finally, the book presents the results of observational and clinical trials on the prevalence of SAMS, clinical trials for treatments, and potential future research approaches for improving the understanding and treatment of SAMS. A key addition to the Contemporary Cardiology series, Statin-Associated Muscle Symptoms is an essential resource for physicians, medical students, residents, fellows, and allied health professionals in cardiology, endocrinology, pharmacotherapy, primary care, and health promotion and disease prevention.
