Compiling the latest studies and expertise on the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and management of cardiovascular disease in the elderly patient, this text is a fully up-to-date third edition detailing cutting-edge developments in the field. Also tracking the rapid pace of innovation in the area with in-depth explorations of the most recent clinical trials and advances in vascular biology, cardiology, and cardiovascular surgery for influential developments in disease prevention and management, this important work is set to become the foremost and most trusted reference source in geriatric cardiology.
Certain to become the most trusted source in geriatric cardiology, this third edition compiles the latest studies and expertise on the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and management of cardiovascular disease in the elderly patient.
