Product Description

About the Book

Cholesterol is important as high levels in your blood can lead to narrowing & blockage of arteries & this increases your risk of developing coronary heart disease (CHD) – one of the most common causes of death & disability in Europe, North America & Australia. CHD usually results from abnormalities that narrow the arteries supplying blood to your heart – the coronary arteries, hence the name ‘coronary heart disease’. Narrowing of these arteries may restrict or completely block the supply of blood to your heart muscle. This process can also occur in other parts of your circulation.

About the Author

Dr Mike Laker is Consultant & Reader in Clinical Biochemistry & Metabolic Medicine in Newcastle. He has extensive experience in cholesterol & fat metabolism, with particular interests in their relationship to coronary heart disease & diabetes mellitus. He is a past Secretary of the British Hyperlipidaemia Association.
