About this title

Synopsis

This book reflects upon and reviews current medical practice in the field of cardiovascular disease. Yet despite highly effective treatment ? diagnosis, medication, health maintenance ? cardiovascular disease remains the major killer in developed countries. The explanation is perhaps that it is a ?silent? disease and its detection is often so invasive that the authors are led to ask the question, ?What's preferable: to be ill and not know it or anxiety-rieden and in good health Before the invention of the blood-pressure metre, cardiovascular diseases remained undetected ? and no one complained of them. The treatment of cardiovascular diseases is a victory for a certain form of mechanised medicine that relies totally on instruments; it is thus accurate but dehumanised. The information provided here offers doctors and patients the necessary information to reflect on this dilemma.Professor of Medicine Pierre Corvol teaches experimental medicine at the Coll�ge de France and is a member of the Acad�mie des Sciences. Nicolas Postel-Vinay is a cardiologist and the president of Imothep.
