This volume is a compendium of different approaches to understanding cardiovascular disease and identifying the proteins, pathways and processes that impact it.
This book elucidates the etiology of heart failure (HF) to assist understanding in the clinical therapies available.
This book is the first to approach the field of congestive heart failure as a true subspecialty of cardiology and cardiovascular surgery.
John Bell (1763–1820), a contemporary of Corvisart who worked at the University of Edinburgh, also described theclinical implications of cardiac enlargement in the secondedition of TheAnatomy ofthe Human Body, published in 1802: But the ...
The present book covers the basic principles of cardiovascular physiology, pathophysiology and advanced pharmacology with particular emphasis on cellular mechanisms of drug action.
The deleterious ef fects of oxygen radicals and activated oxygen species on a variety of biological systems have now been described. Recently attention has also been focused on the toxic effects of oxygen on the cardiovascular system.
Our goal with this book is to emphasize the importance of the post-mortem exam and the correlation between pathologic material and clinical data by analyzing actual cases with problem-based methodology.
