Lifestyle factors such as diet, smoking history and exercise combine with endogenous predictors such as ethnicity and family history to give every individual a unique risk profile. To achieve a better outcome for the patient, we first need to understand how these factors work, singly and in combination, to cause or accelerate progression of disease. With this knowledge we can then develop more effective strategies for management that incorporate changes in lifestyTherapeutic StrategiesCardiovascular DiseasesCardiovascular system -- DiseasesCardiovascular systemHeart -- DiseasesHeart DiseasesHeartCardiovascular Diseases.Cardiovascular system -- Diseases.Cardiovascular system.Heart -- Diseases.Heart Diseases.Heart.Graham Ian M1013645D'Agostino Ralph B27696AU-PeELAU-PeELAU-PeELBOOK996339117403316Therapeutic Strategies in Cardiovascular Risk2358149UNISA
