Report
From the reviews of the fifth edition:
"Medical world has been at war with the phenomenon in which artery walls thicken as a result of a build-up of excess fatty deposits ... . Professor Scott Grundy ... provides a detailed examination of the Metabolic Syndrome's effect on artery disease. Additional topics of coverage include high-density lipoprotein metabolism, newly identified coronary risk factors, how to effectively manage obesity, and ethnic differences in the Metabolic Syndrome. Detailed legends, extensive reference listings and countless illustrations augment the text, creating a literal 'classroom on paper.'" (John Aiello, The Electric Review, January, 2011)
