Hemodynamic basis of atherosclerosis : with critique of the cholesterol-heart disease hypothesis

In this new edition of his book the author continues to give ample evidence that heart disease can be better understood if the fluid dynamics and hydraulics of the body blood systems are considered, rather than looking to cholesterol levels, diets, or drugs as influencing factors in the development of atherosclerosis. Illustrated with over 100 color plates, figures and diagrams.

  • "Atherosclerosis including coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction can and do occur at any and all levels of blood cholesterol. The author argues that atheroclerosis is NOT a lipid disease and that the rise of the cholesterol hypothesis is attributed to misplaced faith in statistical studies and faulty extrapolations from clinical trials."
