- Presents a thorough review of myocardial preservation
- Provides an integrated approach to understanding the topic
- Features a variety of reader-focused features to assist learning
- Defines objectives for future research
This timely book reveals an integrated approach to myocardial preservation focusing on translational research and clinical applications. Chapters cover both the mechanisms of heart failure in addition to therapeutic considerations, including forms of cardiac cell death, cardiac remodelling, cardiac regeneration and therapeutic considerations. Potential future research directions are also proposed, enabling the reader to gain a broad in depth understanding of the topic.
Myocardial Preservation: Translational Research and Clinical Application presents a thorough review of myocardial preservation. Its comprehensive approach provides a valuable reference for cardiology researchers, and practising and trainee cardiologists seeking new insight to the topic.
