Summary:

"Personalized and Precision Integrative Cardiovascular Medicine embraces a systems-oriented medical approach that works to identify and understand the underlying or root causes of disease. It takes into account the personalization of healthcare as each patient is unique. It employs in-depth health history taking, scientific testing and environmental and lifestyle review. It is used as disease prevention and for the treatment of chronic conditions (such as heart disease) through nutrition, supplementation, life-style changes, and stress management. Integrative Medicine is a model of healthcare in which conventional Western medicine is integrated with non-conventional or alternative modalities. And Metabolic Medicine/Cardiology is a newer field of medicine which concentrates on the prevention, management and treatment of cardiovascular disease at the cellular level through biochemical interventions. All three of these complementary approaches to Cardiovascular Medicine will be covered in this new title"-- Provided by publisher.
