Cardiovascular disease, including coronary heart disease, strokes and diseases of other arteries, is a major cause of early death and disability. For many years the major markers of disease risk have been well recognised: these include high blood cholesterol levels and smoking. But it has also been recognised that these markers do not account for all cardiovascular risk. Furthermore, treatments that are highly effective in altering these markers, for instance the ‘statin’ drugs used to lower cholesterol, do not remove risk entirely: typically they reduce it by about 30% or less. These observations have prompted a search for other, perhaps more subtle, indicators of risk of. | Cardiovascular Disease Diet Nutrition and Emerging Risk Factors The Report of a British Nutrition Foundation Task Force Chaired by Professor Keith Frayn Edited by Sara Stanner 0 Blackwell Publishing Published by Blackwell Publishing for the British Nutrition Foundation 2005 by British Nutrition Foundation Blackwell Publishing Ltd Editorial Offices Blackwell Publishing Ltd 9600 Garsington Road Oxford OX4 2DQ UK Tel 44 0 1865 776868 Blackwell Publishing Professional 2121 State Avenue Ames Iowa 50014-8300 USA Tel 1 515 292 0140 Blackwell Publishing Asia Pty Ltd 550 Swanston Street Carlton Victoria 3053 Australia Tel 61 0 3 8359 1011 The right of the Author to be identified as the Author of this Work has been asserted in accordance with the Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988.
