Overview

Unique in its focus on this particular field of cardiovascular science, ""Molecular Mechanisms of Cardiac Hypertrophy and Failure"" reviews current knowledge of the mechanisms contributing to heart failure.Bringing together an internationally renowned team of contributors, the text provides expert reviews on the latest advances in molecular and cell biology, biochemistry and pharmacology. Richly illustrated and suitable for a wide audience of clinicians and basic scientists in academia and industry, the book has particular emphasis on the following key areas: - cardiac hypertrophy - contractile depression - arrhythmogenesis - genetics - the clinical implications of the research in these areas. With a broad, multi-disciplinary appeal, this important text will be of interest to clinical cardiologists, vascular medicine specialists, hematologists, and internists, as well as members of the cardiovascular research community and pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries.
