This book covers the entire spectrum of cardiovascular genomics. It is organized into three parts: Genes and Polymorphisms in Cardiovascular Disease; Gene Transfer for Cardiovascular Disease; and Regenerative Tissues for the Diseased Cardiovascular System. Leading clinical researchers provide an updated account of the most recent molecular approaches utilized to understand the cardiovascular system in both health and disease. It provides and excellent resource for students, researchers and clinicians on the potential of developing novel strategies for the control of cardiovascular disease.

Recognized scientists and clinicians from around the world discuss the most recent molecular approaches to understanding the cardiovascular system in both health and disease. The authors focus on all components of the system, including blood vessels, heart, kidneys, and the brain, and cover disease states ranging from vascular and cardiac dysfunction to stroke and hypertension. The methods described for identifying the genes that cause susceptibility to cardiovascular diseases emphasize the possibility of discovering new drug targets. Authoritative and ground-breaking, Cardiovascular Genomics offers an unprecedented examination of both the cutting-edge scientific approaches now possible and the results obtained from them in the new science of cardiovascular genomics.
