Cellular and molecular pathobiology of cardiovascular disease

Molecular Basis of Cardiac Development -- Cardiac Metabolism in Health and Disease -- Cardiac Atrophy and Remodeling -- The Pathophysiology of Cardiac Hypertrophy and Heart Failure -- Ischemic Heart Disease and its Consequences -- Pathophysiology of Cardiomyopathies -- Cellular and Molecular Pathobiology of the Cardiac Conduction System -- Molecular Pathobiology of Myocarditis -- Calcific and Degenerative Heart Valve Disease -- Vasculogenesis and Angiogenesis -- Diseases of Medium-Sized and Small Vessels -- Pathophysiology of Atherosclerosis -- Genetic Diseases of the Aorta (Including Aneurysms) -- Blood Pressure Regulation and Pathology -- Venous and Arterial Thrombosis -- The Pericardium and its Diseases.

Focuses on the pathophysiology of common cardiovascular disease in the context of its underlying mechanisms and molecular biology. This book has been developed from the editors' experiences teaching an advanced cardiovascular pathology course for PhD trainees in the biomedical sciences, and trainees in cardiology, pathology, public health, and veterinary medicine.
