Tab Article
In cardiovascular prevention, there is classically a small number of cardiovascular risk factors to treat, such as hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and smoking excess, which are widely detected and treated. Recently, it has been widely recognized that new mechanical factors should be detected and treated and involves specifically pulsatile arterial hemodynamic (PAH) parameters such as arterial stiffness, pulse pressure, and, to a lesser extent, augmentation index and pulse pressure amplification.
The pedagogic aspect of this new CV specialty involves 3 principal parts:
a. -Basic concepts and pathophysiological mechanisms of PAH
b. -Clinical aspects and end-organ damage in PAH
c. - Clinical pharmacology and therapeutics of PAH.
This book represents the first that spans basic science and clinical management of this new CV subspecialty. Much has been learned regarding the management of these patients in recent years and this book presents extensive data on the techniques needed to maximize outcomes.
