Post-Genomic Cardiology. 2nd Edition
By Daniel Shindler
Format: Hardcover
This Second edition of Post-Genomic Cardiology (PCG) deals with what promises to be the cardiology of the future. As the role of genetic screening in cardiology is strengthened, and as research on the multiple signaling pathways involved in cardiac organogenesis and pathology progresses, this 2nd edition of PCG further attempts to integrate known facts with what is still developing and with what is slowly becoming known.
New areas of interest to cardiologists and researchers include systems biology, the constructive cycle of computational model building, and experimental verification. These are capable of providing the input necessary for exciting new discoveries, including the management of diseases in a ?personalized? way.
The book is fascinating because it introduces a field that no one with a minimum amount of scientific interest will be able to avoid in the very near future. Extensively referenced, and thoroughly researched, this book presents well-written and organized chapters, each with a summary of the important points discussed, followed by exhaustive bibliographies. A detailed glossary clearly defines the many acronyms used throughout the book.
Unquestionably, this volume will be of great interest and use to clinical and research cardiologists, pharmacologists and genetics investigators; and to students of basic sciences.
Dr. Marin-Garcia - author and editor of this 2nd edition of PGC has done an outstanding job of completing this challenging task.
