Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Atherosclerosis and hypertension, common causes of death in adults, may originate in childhood. Genetic, environmental, and nutritional factors may contribute to the disorders, but may also have preventive value in children. Investigations concerning the earliest origins of these disorders are presented, with a focus on those areas of research which represent potential medical strategies for prevention of atherosclerosis and hypertension. The predictive value of nutrition, obesity, cigarette smoking, plasma lipids and lipoproteins, serum cholesterol, heredity, blood pressure, and other risk factors is examined. Sociological and cultural dietary studies, such as the design of lipid profiles in children, are described; these are aimed at reducing cardiovascular risks in certain populations by fat-modified diets. The effect of socioeconomic status on the development of obesity in children is evaluated.

Book excerpt: Most epidemiologic studies of risk factors for atherosclerosis have been conducted in adult populations, yet there is now evidence that the vascular disease process begins at a young age. This book reviews recent findings that allow physicians to identify and manage children and adolescents who are at the highest risk for the development of premature cardiovascular disease in later life. It covers cholesterol levels, blood pressure, body size, obesity, coronary artery calcification and carotid artery thickness, and discusses the identification, familial aggregation, tracking and management of each of these risk factors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stroke is a major cause of death and the major cause of adult neurological disability in most of the world. Despite its importance on a population basis, research into the genetics of stroke has lagged behind that of many other disorders. However, the situation is now changing. Anincreasing number of single gene disorders causing stroke are being described, and there is growing evidence that polygenic factors are important in the risk of apparently "sporadic" stroke.Stroke Genetics provides an up-to-date review of the area, suitable for clinicians treating stroke patients, and both clinical and non-clinical researchers in the field of cerebrovascular disease. The full range of monogenic stroke disorders causing cerebrovascular disease, including ischaemicstroke, intracerebral haemorrhage, aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations, are covered. For each, clinical features, diagnosis, and genetics are described. Increasing evidence suggest that genetic factors are also important for the much more common multifactorial stroke; this evidence isreviewed along with the results of genetic studies in this area. Optimal and novel strategies for investigating multifactorial stroke, including the use of intermediate phenotypes such as intima-media thickness and MRI detected small vessel disease are reviewed. The book concludes by describing apractical approach to investigating patients with stroke for underlying genetic disorders. Also included is a list of useful websites.
