Description
Overview
Gianluca Iacobellis examines the connection between adiposity and cardiovascular health in this Oxford clinical reference. The emphasis is on understanding risk: how obesity is defined, why fat distribution matters, and how clinical phenotypes and markers inform assessment. The book offers a focused cardiovascular perspective rather than a general weight-management programme.
What this book covers
- Obesity definitions, phenotypes, and epidemiological context.
- Visceral adiposity and relationships between adipose tissue and the heart.
- Cardiovascular markers and the interpretation of metabolic risk.
- Clinical implications of differing obesity phenotypes.
Who it’s for
Cardiology and internal-medicine trainees, clinicians, and researchers interested in the cardiovascular dimensions of obesity. This is Iacobellis's 2009 Oxford title, not the different CRC book with the same name.
How to study with this book
Trace one proposed risk marker from its biological rationale to its clinical interpretation. Compare the book's 2009 discussion with subsequent evidence before drawing conclusions about present-day management.
