The generation of data on the neurobehavioral effects of cardiovascular disease and its risk factors has greatly accelerated over the past 15 years. This timely update of Waldstein and Elias' pioneering first edition provides a comprehensive and authoritative discussion of this expanding field. A particular strength of this edited book is that its authors have thoroughly integrated neuropsychological findings with sophisticated models of the biological substrates of cardiovascular disease. --Gregory G. Brown, Professor, Department of Psychiatry, University of California, San Diego, School of Medicine, USA This comprehensive new edition brings together international contributors representing the world's leading experts to capture every major development in the field since 2001. Neuropsychology of Cardiovascular Disease, Second Edition is an essential desk reference for researchers and clinicians alike. --Adam Davey, Professor of Public Health, Temple University, USA I commend this book for all those interested in the biomedical basis of the links between cardiovascular disease and the mind. It crosses an important professional divide and will inform and fascinate readers who approach the subject irrespective of whether their starting point lies with cardiology or psychology. --Gary L. Jennings, Director, Baker IDI Heart and Diabetes Institute, Australia
