Surgical options for the treatment of degenerative, ischemic, inflammatory, and functional mitral valve diseases have expanded greatly in recent decades. Still, a dilemma exists with employing prosthetic mitral valves - in that mechanical valves exhibit good durability but requi…
Operative Anatomy of the Heart covers unique data and artwork on the morphological description of cardiovascular surgery and surgical procedure. Topics covered include the entire anatomy of the human chest. An appendix presents the cross sections of the human body including the …
Signal transduction pathways are at the core of most biological processes and are critical regulators of heart physiology and pathophysiology. The heart is both a transmitter and dynamic receptor of a variety of intracellular and extracellular stimuli, playing a critical role of…
Annotation Signal transduction pathways are at the core of most biological processes and are critical regulators of heart physiology and pathophysiology. Presented from a post-genomic perspective, this book introduces important new ideas in cardiovascular systems biology.
