Cardiology Research And Clinical Developments

The primary focus of this book is to provide readers with a comprehensive, state-of-the-art overview of the recent advances in the understanding of cardiovascular risk, especially in selected, vulnerable patient populations. Chapters contained in this book are written by invited authors from all over the world, who are well-known experts and opinion leaders in their respective fields in the assessment and management of cardiovascular risk. In each chapter, emphasis has been placed on reviewing the current understanding of the patho-physiological mechanisms that affect cardiovascular risk, and on critical appraisal of the clinical evidence that guides clinical management of cardiovascular risk in these patients.

Current Trends in Cardiovascular Research brings evidence to the medical community about the role of metabolic factors in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular function and dysfunction which results in different cardiovascular diseases.

Cardiovascular disease refers to the class of diseases that involve the heart of blood vessel. Most countries face high and increasing rates of cardiovascular disease. Each year, heart disease kills more Americans than cancer. It is the number one cause of death and disability in the U.S. and most European countries. The causes, prevention and/or treatment of all forms of cardiovascular disease are active fields of biomedical research. This book presents current research from around the world in this field.

This book presents original research results on the leading edge of cardiovascular research. Each article has been carefully selected in an attempt to present substantial research results across a broad spectrum.

Chronocardiology and Cardiac Research bring evidence to the public domain about the role of time in cardiovascular function and dysfunction that results in a number of cardiovascular diseases. The book is divided into three parts and covers the subjects extensively. Chronocardiology is not new to cardiologists, but it needs to be introduced to mainstream medicine, which is the main purpose of the editors of this volume.
