Contemporary Cardiology COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE CARDIOVASCULAR MEDICINE ISBN: 1-58829-186-3 E-ISBN: 1-59259-728-9 humanapress.com Contemporary Cardiology Series Editor: Christopher P. Cannon, MD Complementary and Alternative Cardiovascular Medicine Edited by Richard A. Stein, MD Associate Chairman of Medicine, Beth Israel Medical Center; Chief of Medicine, The Singer Division of Beth Israel Medical Center, New York, NY Mehmet C. Oz, MD Cardiovascular Institute, Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center, New York, NY With more than 50% of patients self-medicating today and with the enormous variety of complementary or alternative medicines (CAM) available, it has become imperative for health care providers to be familiar with, and knowledgeable about, these widely used treatments. In Complementary and Alternative Cardiovascular Medicine, academic clinicians, clinical scientists, well-known practitioners of alternative medicine, and authors of popular works on the subject summarize the facts about complementary cardiovascular medications so that physicians can confidently and intelligently advise their patients. The authors comprehensively explain the background for each important alternative therapy, its rationale, the evidence supporting its use, its possible interaction with standard medicines, and, where possible, what is known about its safety and efficacy. The therapies for treating coronary heart disease (CHD) range from the more commonly encountered herbs, vitamins, supplements, and dietary fats and oils, to such less familiar techniques as acupuncture, homeopathy, massage, chelation therapy, meditation, aroma therapy, prayer, and energy therapies. Also included is a value-added CD-ROM that contains an eBook version of the work that can be viewed either on your personal computer or synchronized to your PDA. Comprehensive and informative, Complementary and Alternative Cardiovascular Medicine offers traditional health care providers not only a critical introduction to the benefits and risks of CAM therapies in cardiovascular medicine, but also a sound basis for effectively counseling patients about the value and risks of these therapies. • Comprehensive review of CAM therapies for cardiovascular disease • Critical discussion of the cardiac patient’s CAM world • Everything you need to know to talk with your cardiac patient about CAM • Review of risky herb and supplement drug interactions with pharmaceuticals • A new look at chelation, the basis of a new NIH-sponsored clinical trial Features Contents • Using herbs and supplements to treat and prevent coronary heart disease • How acupuncture can add to the value of a CHD treatment program • Physician’s guide to internet resources concerning CAM in cardiovascular disease • CD-ROM with an eBook version of the book suitable for viewing on a PC or PDA Complementary and Alternative Medicine in the Prevention and Treatment of Cardiovascular Disease: An Introduction.
