Living Longer: The heart-mind connection is written for all those who strive for optimal long-term health and the maximal functioning of their hearts and minds. Today's problem for the health-conscious individual is information overload - new health studies pour out almost daily from newspapers, radio stations and television networks. Many of the reports are contradictory and often misleading. In this book, Professor Opie sifts through the available information on the vast number of possible health promotion changes, varying from increased exercise to aspirin to green tea, and diets from Atkins to the vegetarian, with the aim of grading the validity of the evidence, asking questions such as, "Just how true are the studies" and "Just how compelling are the facts they claim"? Living Longer guides the reader through this morass of information with the message that just five key steps taken now will promote long-term health benefits for heart and mind and give protection from future heart disease and brain deterioration.

About the Book ACE inhibitors are justly regarded as the most important advance in cardiac drug therapy since the advent of calcium channel antagonist drugs. Acting basically as inhibitors of the renin-angiotensin vasoconstrictor system, these agents have grown in importance to become among the therapeutic agents first choice for hypertension and a cornerstone of therapy in congestive heart failure. Recent studies show that they can also prevent overt heart failure and reinfarction, and beneficially influence diabetic renal lesions. The major aim of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors: Scientific Basis for Clinical Use is to present the clinician with the information needed for the practical and discerning use of ACE inhibitors. When do these agents really work and in what doses? Which claims are based on promotional material and which claims have relevance for the clinician in the practical treatment of hypertension, heart failure or myocardial infarction? This Second Edition adds new material that critically reviews the recent large trials including Consensus-II, Save, V-HeFT-II, Aire, and ISIS-IV and guides the clinician toward a rational policy of use. There is an important new chapter on the use of ACE inhibitors in the metabolic cardiovascular syndrome and in diabetic nephropathy.

The new 6th Edition continues to be the definitive pocket-sized guide on the "hows" and "whys" of cardiovascular drugs. It provides in-depth information on all of the drug classes used to treat heart disease, and covers drug use, new drug classes, drug use for single and multiple problem management, and more. A user-friendly organization speed readers to the information they need, and dynamic new full-color drawings illustrate key pharmacological and physiological actions. The new edition includes access to the companion website, which offers bi-annual content updates to keep you current with new drugs, indications and leading trials. The website also has the feature of fully searchable text to access book content via drug, disease or drug action.

Thoroughly revised and updated, this Fourth Edition is the only current book that integrates cellular and subcellular elements of cardiovascular physiology in the analysis of physiologic and pathophysiologic responses. In straightforward terms, with more than 600 diagrams and illustrations, the book explains the key principles crucial to understanding how the cardiovascular system and its components function and malfunction. For this edition, Dr. Opie has enlisted eight internationally eminent co-authors and added a new chapter on cell signaling. The chapters on physiology of the ECG and arrhythmias contain many more ECGs. More than half of the illustrations—including 12 color plates—are new.
