Description
Edited by a world-renowned clinical cardiologist, pharmacologist and
clinical researcher, along with two major figures in complementary
medicine practice, Complementary and Integrative Therapies for
Cardiovascular Disease is the first text to discuss all the major
Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) practices that have been
used for cardiovascular disease prevention and treatment. The book includes discussions of the potential benefits and risks of
alternative therapies for treatment and prevention of cardiovascular
disease, as well as their integration into standard medical care.
Therapies covered include the use of nutriceuticals (vitamins, amino
acid, and natural antioxidants and minerals), herbal remedies (plus
potential herbal remedy-drug interactions), various psychological and
relaxation approaches (mind/body therapies, hypnosis, biofeedback and
cognitive therapy, etc.), various alternative medicine disciplines
(including QiGong and TaiChi, Ayurveda and Yoga), Native American
practices, homeopathy, osteopathy, and specific modalities (such as
acupuncture, auriculotherapy, chelation, aromatherapy, music therapy,
sauna, meditation and prayer, animal-assisted therapy, Shiatsu and
massage, magnetotherapy, and spinal cord stimulation). Chapters on specific approaches and therapies are organized to discuss the
history and rationale behind each alternative practice, the strengths
and weaknesses of the available clinical studies, the potential risks
and benefits, and how the therapy might be integrated into a conventional medical practice.
