Clearly an  understanding of the effects of diabetes on the heart is an important  step in the development of strategies to reduce the incidence of heart  disease for diabetic patients, thus increasing their overall  life-expectancy and quality of life. \u003cbr\u003e  In this book, the editors bring together the different lines of  evidence supportive of the idea of a diabetic cardiomyopathy. The  first chapter provides an overview of the impact of cardiac  dysfunction on the mortality and morbidity of the diabetic population  in general, as well as a presentation of clinical aspects of heart  disease in diabetes. This is followed by chapters concerned with the  pathological and functional changes that occur in the heart as a  result of diabetes and a description of the various therapeutic  interventions that are available to reverse the effects of diabetes on  the heart. Subsequent chapters focus on changes in protein synthesis,  membrane function and intermediary metabolism that take place  following the onset of diabetes. Since these alterations precede many  of the functional and pathological changes, it may be that the  processes responsible for the functional decline and tissue injury are  initiated by diabetes-induced changes at the cellular and\/or  biochemical level.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2011-09-16\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9781461285410\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461285410\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4613-1269-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 268\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44343416914060,"sku":"9781461285410","price":153.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461285410_d5a3d700-729b-42d1-8055-1ee70512af2c.jpg?v=1755054781","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781461285410","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
