You've probably already seen this, but they don't call me Captain Obvious for nothing!

Any suggestion of videos or books ?

Here is a great lecture on isolated d-pawns: http://www.kenilworthchessclub.org/articles/opening/isolani/isolani-best-A.htm
The Karpov games in particular are very important to know and it would be very useful to at least remember the tactics in those positions. Other annotators note different ways for White play such positions such as putting the dark-squared bishop on f4 instead of g5 as played by Anand. It would be really good if you could find such annotations because there are very rare ways to play that might catch your opponents off-guard.
As far as the opening goes I like to play either 1.e4 c6 2.c4 or 1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5 3.cd ed 4.c4 Nf6 5.Nc3 Nc6 6.cd Nxd5 7.Bc4 with the idea of avoiding the ...Bg4 lines where the play doesn't really revolve around the isolated pawn.

I also recommend GM Shankland's video series on the Caro Kann and the particular video on the Panov. Great material.
