ENDOCRINOLOGY OF THE HEART IN HEALTH AND DISEAS...

Endocrinology of the Heart in Health and Disease: Integrated  Cellular  and Molecular
Endocrinology of the Heart covers the traditional concepts of cardio-endocrinology  the role of
the various hormone systems  both in health and disease  therapeutic implications  and other
recent advances in the various fields represented. The book explores how cardiac hormones are
changed in various cardiac pathologies and the recent success that has been uncovered in their
therapeutic use. Additional focus is placed on how the heart responds both physiologically and
pathophysiologically to a plethora of circulating hormones  reinforcing the importance of the
heart as a target of numerous endocrine systems  such as the brain  renal  and adipose.
Significant advances have come from basic  clinical  and translational research from a
multiplicity of investigators with diverse backgrounds. The book features over 200
photomicrographs  diagrams of molecular relationships  and tables that complement and support
the text. It is aimed at a wide audience  including graduate students and post-doctoral fellows
in a wide array of biomedical departments and PhD programs (e.g. Pathology  Physiology 
Genetics  Pharmacology  Molecular Biology  and Cell Biology) related to the endocrine and
cardiovascular sciences curricula  as well as medical residents in pathology  laboratory
medicine  internal medicine  and cardiology.
