"[Lipid Disorders: A Multidisciplinary Approach] is intended as a reference of the current, research-based practice guidelines in the management of patients with multiple types of lipid disorders. This book would be helpful to all physicians, but most specifically internists, endocrinologists, and cardiologists at all levels of training. This is an essential guide that describes the relationship lipids have with their biomarkers, women's health, pediatrics, chronic diseases, and, of course, heart disease. It parses the most current clinical data in a manner that relates directly to the most common lipid disorders. Numerous graphics and tables complement the text very well. This is an excellent reference for providers in the many specialties that are involved in the management of patients with lipid disorders. It describes the current guideline-based therapy and the clinical data from which it is derived." -- 3 Stars! -- Samy Abdelghani, MD (Ochsner Clinic Foundation), for Doody's Review Service.
