Beschreibung
Several viruses, including herpes simplex, cytomegalovirus, and coxsackie B virus, have been implicated in heart disease. Recent work has suggested that atherosclerosis or atheroma – the disease responsible for myocardial infarction, stroke, peripheral vascular and other major vascular problems – is not simply caused by dietary factors but also Chlamydia pneumoniae infection. This discovery changes the concept of cardiovascular disease, which will have a profound effect on hundreds of millions of people and is of wide interest to modern cardiovascular medicine.
Atherosclerosis Lesion: Discovery, Diagnosis and Treatment presents current understanding on the specific pathological features of the C. pneumoniae arterial lesion and the unique morphological features and life cycle of C. pneumoniae in atheromatous arteries.
It is important for every medical practitioner to be aware of this disease. All internal medicine physicians, intensivists, family medicine practitioners, infectious disease and immunology physicians should be aware of the impact of C. pneumoniae, the specific pathological features, and methods of diagnosing the lesion. This book presents a unique review of this important clinical issue.
Dr Shor believes it is important for every medical practitioner to be aware of the new aspects of this disease, and that all facts concerning the circumstances, the finding of the germ, the specific pathological features and other aspects which change the concept of heart attacks, remarkably, methods of diagnoses of the lesion should all be known. Details and facets of the lesion are necessary for assessment, acceptance or rejection of this very important new disease, by the scientific community. It opens up new diagnosis and treatments, with potential cure and eradication of this deadly disease. Immunization or eradication of this germ if possible will open new horizons.
