From the reviews: "This is an introduction to evolving concepts in biochemical and cellular signaling pathways in cardiac myocyte metabolism. ... The target audience includes students, physicians in training, advanced practice clinicians, and practicing physicians from a variety of specialties involved in treating patients with cardiac disease. ... The topics this book covers are evolving and include a broad array of information that introduces many cutting edge concepts. It is a valuable resource that will pave the way for innovative therapeutic methods for cardiac diseases." (Nay Htyte, Doody's Review Service, October, 2012)
