Diastolic Relaxation of the Heart
Springer-Verlag New York Inc.
978-1-4613-6110-7 (ISBN)
This brand new Second Edition, based on a recent meeting, includes such topics as:
molecular biology of relaxation;
consequences of altered gene expression;
impaired relaxation in experimental models (ischemia and hypoxia, and hypertrophy and failure);
diastolic dysfunction in the diseased human heart.
Diastolic Relaxation of the Heart, Second Edition: The Biology of Diastole in Health and Disease, the successor to the editors' bestselling work on the same subject, published in 1987 - belongs on the shelf of every practising cardiologist. It will also be an invaluable addition to the library of scientists researching the effects of diastole on heart function.
