Myocardial Preservation: Translational Research and Clinical Application (2019) (PDF) by Dennis V. Cokkinos

Description

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 cardiac regeneration. Potential future research directions are also proposed, enabling the reader to gain a broad in-depth understanding of the topic.

Myocardial Preservation: Translational Research and Clinical Application presents a thorough review of myocardial preservation. Its comprehensive approach provides a valuable reference for cardiology researchers and practising and trainee cardiologists seeking new insight to the topic.

⭐ ed. Dennis CokkinosSpringer Nature International 2019Reviewer:Joseph Grenier MD PhD MPHThis is an excellent reference book on the molecular, sub cellular, cellular, tissue, and functional mechanisms of heart disease. The role of apoptosis, necrosis, and cell regeneration in cardiac function is explored. Cardiomyopathy, hypertension, ischemia, hibernation, stunning, and heart failure are addressed in separate chapters of this book. The European approach to heart disease is discussed. Basic, clinical, and research approaches of cardiac function with reference to molecular and cellular mechanisms is described. Interleukins, kinases, calcium metabolism, microRNAs, MMPs, collagenases, stem cells, and repercussions are examined. The use of bone, embryonic, and smooth cell stem cells is shown to be effective in animal ischemia models. The mechanisms and prevention of heart failure is addressed. FAK, aka, TNF, BDNF, LIF, are looked at. Pharmacologic approaches to cardiac disease including statins, ACE inhibitors, calcium blockers, beta blockers, nitrates, etc. are also considered. I recommend the book for internists, cardiologists, nurses, fellows, residents, students, and researchers of cardiac physiology.
