Aurelio Leone 
Passive Smoking and Cardiovascular Pathology 
Mechanisms and Physiopathological Bases of Damage. Second Edition

This book, which is an updated new edition in 2012 of an earlier book of 2007, addresses the role of passive smoking in causing the multiple aspects of cardiovascular damage under biochemical, physiological, pathological, clinical, epidemiological and statistic all aspects. In just five years, from 2007 to 2012, enormous progress on the effects of passive smoking has been achieved. This book also uses, under the editorial aspect, a modern and updated system of asterisks that bind, in each chapter, the existing concepts, without changing their content, with those of more recent acquisition that modify or cancel the previously issued . In this way, the reader can actively update on what was effectively the "past" and how current research on the subject suggests.
