Professor Scott Grundy ... provides a detailed examination of the Metabolic Syndrome's effect on artery disease. Additional topics of coverage include high-density lipoprotein metabolism, newly identified coronary risk factors, how to effectively manage obesity, and ethnic differences in the Metabolic Syndrome.
