Inflammatory Atherosclerosis: Characteristics of the Injurious Agent
(SAN: 255-5255 ISBN: 0-9724816-0-5 LCCC: 2002112988)
Why Cardiologists Should Read This Book
Dr. Frink brings a fresh new approach to the problems and issues facing cardiologists when presented a patient with acute coronary disease. Currently, cardiologists treat the manifestations of atherosclerosis rather than the cause because the primary cause or primary injurious agent has not been identified. In broad terms we know many of the risk factors that accelerate atherosclerosis, but not the fundamental cause.. Dr. Frink carefully documents, in a series of 26 color plates (130 different pictures), the pathologic changes taking place in the coronary arteries and correlates these changes with the different acute coronary syndromes to support his view that atherosclerosis is caused by a single infectious organism. This organism, yet to be identified, is believed to cause the inflammation that leads to inflammatory atherosclerosis. Dr. Frink combines his long career as an invasive/interventional cardiologist with his expertise in coronary artery pathology to challenge traditional views regarding the pathogenesis of acute coronary disease. This book is appropriate for any physician or investigator interested in determing the cause of atherosclerosis and/or improvement in the management of the cardiac patient.
A companion CD is available which contains all the images (in TIF format) of pictures from the Color Plates (26) found in the book. These images (over 100) contain no labelling and can be incorporated into your slide presentations. The Foundation grants the purchaser of the Book+CD combination the right to use these images in presentations by that individual. Click on the link "Sample Images" to see four sample images taken from the color plates.
