Clinical Lipidology: A Companion to Braunwald’s Heart Disease, written by Christie M. Ballantyne MD FACP FACC, is an essential guide for clinicians in the management of patients with high cholesterol levels and other atherogenic lipid disorders. This book offers extensive coverage on lipidology with concise, clear, and authoritative guidance on all aspects of the management of lipid disorders. The third edition of the book has been updated with new chapters, algorithms, and case studies.
This comprehensive guidebook is an invaluable resource for cardiologists, lipidologists, endocrinologists, and internal medicine physicians. The book starts with basic science and pathogenesis of atherothrombotic disease, followed by risk assessment, therapy options, and emerging platforms in the field of lipidology. It is packed with the latest research-based recommendations and therapeutic breakthroughs that will guide clinicians on how to assess, diagnose, and treat patients with high levels of lipids and lipoproteins.
One significant feature of this book is its accessibility and user-friendly manner, with condensed and streamlined content that highlights clinical applications and concepts that clinicians can apply in their practice. The chapters have been reorganized into four main sections, namely; risk assessment, therapy, emerging therapeutic targets and platforms, and special populations. The book is presented in a concise and easy-to-read format with treatment algorithms throughout, along with case studies that highlight the most common clinical questions in each chapter.
The book’s third edition includes several new chapters that cover emerging therapeutic targets such as Polygenic Risk Scores, Inclisiran, Bempedoic Acid, and Pemafibrate, among others. Additionally, new or expanded content on inflammation, genetic testing, statins, and the role of bile acid sequestrants, niacin, and fibrates, mAbs, CANTOS and CIRT, colchicine, IL-6, and cellular, molecular, and genetic therapy have also been added.
The book is up to date with the latest guidelines from the AHA, ACC, ESC, and EAS, and it provides future directions for ongoing research and emerging applications in the fields of lipidology.
In conclusion, Clinical Lipidology: A Companion to Braunwald’s Heart Disease is a must-have book for clinicians in the field of lipidology.
