商品簡介
Contains 15 papers from the first international symposium on IMT, held in Paris in July 1995. The survey begins with a discussion of the natural history of atherosclerosis, followed by chapters which examine new techniques in imaging and diagnosis, and old difficulties of defining risks and creating guidelines for predicting them. Topics include problems arising with regard to early lesion detection, estimation of plaque progression and evaluation of plaque stability; arterial wall thickness, carotid atherosclerosis and the risk of myocardial infarction and cerebrovascular stroke; and effects of hypolipidemic drugs on the arterial wall.
