An easy-to-read survey of all the latest developments in molecular cardiologic research and therapy. The authors explain in a readable style the complex process of the heart's development, the molecular basis of cardiovascular diseases, and the translation of these research advances to actual clinical treatments. The expert information provided here serves as an invaluable building block for novel treatments of cardiovascular diseases and includes a comprehensive discussion of cardiac function and dysfunction, coronary artery disease, cardiac arrhythmias, vascular diseases, and risk factors for cardiovascular disease. These state-of-the-art approaches to molecular cardiologic research include critical discussion of such topics as the molecular events that regulate angiogenesis and the potential for angiogenic therapy, emerging therapies for arrhythmias, and a description of the molecular biology of aging and its impact on the cardiovascular system.

From the Foreword..."I believe that this is an outstanding book. Anyone interested in the development, genetics, and pathologies that affect the cardiovascular system will want to have Principles of Molecular Cardiology available for ready reference." -James T. Willerson, MDFrom the reviews:"...should be in any pediatric library, not to say cardiac departments." - Pediatric Endocrinology Reviews"This book … provides a broad and up-to-date treatment of molecular biology of cardiovascular diseases. Certainly this book shows quite thoroughly the direction in which cardiology is moving." (American Journal of Cardiology, December, 2005) "...shows quite thoroughly the direction in which cardiology is moving." -American Journal of Cardiology
