The burden of coronary heart disease (CHD) is considerable, representing many tens of millions of deaths a year in both the developed and developing world. This new edition of a classic text reviews the well-established risk factors for CHD and looks forward to disease prevention, equipped with lessons from the past. The book covers aetiology and aspects of public health, including studies within a single population and international studies, important areas of methodological development, trials to test preventive strategies, and the application of epidemiological and other knowledge to the development of public health policy for the prevention of widespread disease. It is an all-encompassing work containing contributions from the world authorities in the field. The book is divided into four sections. The introduction reviews advances in the understanding of, and the current status, of risk factors for CHD. Section 2 looks at recent global trends and emerging patterns of CHD morbidity and mortality in several countries, and includes chapters on work done under the auspices of WHO on the global burden of disease in relation to smoking and blood pressure.
Section 3 focuses on advances in understanding the aetiology of CHD with each chapter focused on a particular risk factor. Section 4 explores measures of prevention and intervention in terms of public health policy with specific examples from around the world. This book will be of interest to a wide and multi-disciplinary readership including those interested in an overview of research on CHD epidemiology, those actively concerned with prevention of cardiovascular disease, those looking for instructive examples of application of research to public health policy, to practitioners of epidemiology and public health, and as a reference source for medical students and postgraduate students.
