Description
This book is the first to bridge the gap between the basic science of molecular biology and the clinical practice of cardiology. There have been considerable advances recently in the understanding of the genetics and mechanisms of coronary artery disease such as connective tissue disorders and atherosclerosis and in many cases molecular biology has provided clues as to causes, screening and treatment.
