Bøger af Jose Marin-Garcia

This revised and updated edition reflects the latest research on the role of mitochondria in cardiovascular diseases and brings Dr. Marin-Garcia's 2005 volume, Mitochondria and the Heart, up to speed, focusing on biological understanding and clinical impact.

This volume offers comprehensive coverage of commonalities and differences in signaling pathway elements in a broad spectrum of cardiovascular diseases, including heart failure, arrhythmias to atherosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes and metabolic syndrome.

Heart Failure (HF) is the final and common pathway of all cardiovascular diseases. An authoritative contribution to the field, this book provides a detailed description of new findings and emerging methodologies, as well as a critical clinical evaluation of the complex HF syndrome and future therapies.

In this book, the genetic and molecular basis of cardiovascular aging is examined in detail and a comprehensive assessment given of the bioenergetics changes occurring in human and animal models of cardiac aging. Cardiac aging, like aging in general, is a complex process involving numerous cellular and molecular changes.
