medicine lead to increased life expectancy and the number of older
adults world-wide continues to grow, so the number of older
individuals with cardiac and cerebrovascular disease is rising.
Over eighty per cent of all cardiovascular disease-related deaths
now occur in patients aged sixty five or older. The high
prevalence of co-morbidities, frailty and cognitive decline amongst
older patients requires that a holistic approach to the management
of cardiovascular disease is required.
Written and edited by leading experts in the field,
'Cardiovascular diseases and health in the older
patient' provides scholarly evidence and data which
explain why treating an older patient with cardiovascular disease
is often different from treating a young or middle-aged patient
with the same disease. The chapters have been updated and
expanded from the cardiovascular section of the renowned
'Pathy's Principles and Practice of Geriatric
Medicine', edited by Alan J. Sinclair, John E. Morley and
Bruno Vellas. The revised chapters contain updated evidence
and references to recent clinical practice guidelines in Europe and
North America, this book provides complete, authoritative
information on this major cause of death, poor health and
disability in old age.
Covering the epidemiology, pathophysiology and management of
cardiovascular disease in the older patient, the book is an
excellent reference at all clinical and pre-clinical levels and
will appeal particularly to geriatricians, cardiologists, and GPs,
as well as cardiac specialist nurses and practice nurses.
With a Foreword by Stuart M. Cobbe.
