Myocardial Preservation Translational Research and Clinical Application

Myocardial Preservation Translational Research and Clinical Application / edited by Dennis V. Cokkinos.

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 and cardi...
