Description
This book gives a consensus of views and research trends in the regulation of cardiac function and metabolism. Emphasis is given to the elucidation of fundamental concepts and principles of clinically relevant issues. The aim is that the clinician should be able to approach a particular aspect of any given problem logically, thereby gaining insights into the fundamental pathophysiological mechanism underlying diseases states.
Regulation of Cardiac Function is organized within six principle areas from the molecular and cellular aspects to more clinically applied problems of heart disease. This book gives pertinent guidelines and summarizes knowledge on basic research relevant to cardiac function and metabolism in health and disease.
