La placca ateromasica rappresenta l’elemento patogenetico principale di numerosi processi patologici a carico degli apparati cardiovascolare, cerebrovascolare e nefrovascolare. Al fine di prevenire e trattare tali patologie, che rappresentano, per frequenza nella popolazione generale, le principali cause di morte e disabilità nel mondo occidentale, appare necessaria la conoscenza dei principali meccanismi patogenetici alla base dello sviluppo della placca aterosclerotica. In questo volume viene presentata una sintesi aggiornata delle tematiche relative all’eziopatogenesi, alla prevenzione e al trattamento dell’aterosclerosi, dedicando ampio spazio al recente concetto di aterosclerosi come malattia infiammatoria e agli ultimi studi volti ad individuare una possibile eziopatogenesi infettiva del processo. Il testo, rivolto principalmente ai medici di Medicina Generale e agli studenti delle lauree sanitarie, vuole offrire una panoramica sulle attuali conoscenze e sulle nuove teorie formulate in questi ultimi anni. Quest’opera rappresenta pertanto uno strumento di rapido aggiornamento con spunti interessanti per eventuali approfondimenti.
