Molecular and Subcellular Cardiology Effects of Structure and Function / edited by S. Sideman, Rafael Beyar.

The Henry Goldberg Workshops were set up to address the following goals: (1) To foster interdisciplinary interaction between scientists and cardiologists, identify missing links, and catalyze new ideas. (2) To relate basic microscale phenomena to the global, clinically manifested cardiac function. (...
