Coronary heart disease (CHD) remains a major cause of humanmortality and morbidity worldwide. Classical risk factors foratherosclerosis fail to account fully for the wide variations in CHDprevalence and/or severity between differing populations. The searchfor hitherto unrecognised risk factors has recently focused on thepotential role of chronic inflammation and common infections.
Chronic Infection, Chlamydia and Coronary Heart Disease is thefirst book to review the wealth of evidence linking various infectiveagents with CHD, focusing particularly on the proposed pathogeneticrole of the main candidate microorganism, Chlamydia pneumoniae.
Written by two leading investigators in the field, the book provides aconcise, clearly written and up-to-date account of the diverse linesof evidence - seroepidemiological, pathological, animal andin vitro data and clinical antibiotic trials.
The possibility of an infective basis to atherosclerosis and CHD hasalready attracted much scientific interest. Chronic Infection,Chlamydia and Coronary Heart Disease highlights the keypublished works on the topic, and concludes with information onexisting, ongoing, and future lines of enquiry. ... Read more

Product Description
Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Chlamydia," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Chlamydia in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Chlamydia when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name Chlamydia, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. ... Read more
