Translational Cardiology: Molecular Basis of Cardiac Metabolism,
Cardiac Remodeling, Translational Therapies and Imaging Techniques
provides an up-to-date introduction to the role circadian rhythms,
cardiac plasticity, and mechanotransduction play in the heart, while at
the same time introducing new developments in cellular, viral, and
non-biologic therapies that are in the process of being developed.
Importantly, the focus of this book is on topics that, due to their
novelty, are largely not covered in the other major textbooks. A special
emphasis is placed on the molecular basis of cardiac metabolism, new
concepts in cardiac remodeling, and translational therapies and imaging
techniques currently under development for clinical use. The chapters
are written by experts from diverse clinical and biomedical research
backgrounds. Translational Cardiology: Molecular Basis of Cardiac
Metabolism, Cardiac Remodeling, Translational Therapies and Imaging
Techniques simplifies the complexity of the molecular basis of disease
by focusing on patient-oriented disease mechanisms and therapies and is
of great value to a broad audience including physicians (e.g.
cardiologists, cardiovascular surgeons, pathologists) as well as
translational biomedical researchers in a wide range of disciplines.
