The Metabolic Syndrome is a valuable reference text,

coronary heart disease.

The Metabolic Syndrome has been further

updated and this new edition contains an increase in international
contributions and five new chapters on:

and manage the syndrome and its complications. Specifically, the
text will be of particular relevance to those involved and working
