Prevention and Treatment of Cardiovascular Disease : Nutritional and Dietary Approaches

Discusses proper diet and nutrition for preventing dyslipidemia, cardiometabolic disease, and obesity Clearly delineates between diet and lifestyle interventions that are evidence-based and those which should be considered experimental Provides an up-to-date review of the many current diet and lifestyle trends and controversies Examines dietary approaches to inflammation and the role of the microbiome in CVD This book discusses all aspects of non-pharmacologic approaches to primary and secondary CVD prevention. It highlights the strength of evidence for particular diet styles in CVD prevention, including plant-based diets, the Mediterranean diet, the DASH diet, and low-carbohydrate diets. Chapters present evidence and future directions for diet and nutrition in diseases related to CVD, such as dyslipidemia, cardiometabolic disease (pre-diabetes, the metabolic syndrome, type-2 diabetes mellitus), and obesity. Finally, the book reviews novel and emerging aspects of dietary intervention in CVD prevention, such as dietary approaches to inflammation and the role of the microbiome in CVD. Up-to-date, evidence-based, and clinically oriented, Prevention and Treatment of Cardiovascular Disease: Nutritional and Dietary Approaches is an essential resource for physicians, residents, fellows, and medical students in cardiology, clinical nutrition, family medicine, endocrinology, and lipidology.
