| Summary |
"Post-genomic cardiology presents the first comprehensive and critical evaluation in the field of cardiovascular molecular medicine. Notably, this book will provide the reader with a sense of new directions in which molecular medicine may be applied." "A detailed primer presented in the beginning of the book outlines recent molecular, genetic, and cellular techniques. This is aimed at a broad audience that includes not only internists and clinical cardiologists, but also the medical school student, and the graduate/undergraduate student with limited knowledge of this molecular information. This is followed by critical and comprehensive discussions on the use of molecular, genetic, and cellular techniques used to identify the etiology and pathophysiology of specific cardiac diseases, as well as the diagnostic and therapeutic options available for infants; children, adults, and the aging population."--BOOK JACKET |
