Animal Models in Cardiovascular Research

Animal Models in Cardiovascular Research by David Gross.

Animal Models in Cardiovascular Research covers both historical and recent advances in our understanding of the cardiovascular system from studies conducted in animal models. The last decade has seen an explosion in the use of very specialized congenic and transgenic animal models that were not desc...
