Role of Herpesviruses in Atherogenesis


Add your own review!

Overview

There is a growing body of evidence suggesting that the herpesvirus has a role in many vascular disorders. Each chapter in this book discusses in detail the role that herpesviruses play in the pathophysiological processes related to cholesterol metabolism and intracellular trafficking, cell proliferation, matrix production and arterial tissue remodelling, and thrombosis. The contributors highlight a wide range of cellular processes focused on the potential role that herpesviruses may play in the etiology and development of cardiovascular disease, from early childhood to adult stages of life.
