Alternative prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease, part 2.
This article discusses alternative therapies for secondary prevention and treatment of major cardiac disorders: congestive heart failure, hypertension, dyslipidemias, and peripheral vascular disease. The role of various therapies (eg, herbal and botanic preparations, supplements, mind/body interventions, other alternative modalities of care) are addressed relative to each disease state and will hopefully give the practitioner or student a readily accessible suite of integrative therapies for common cardiac illnesses.
