The\r\nbook is divided into two parts; the first part provides insight into role and\r\nfunction of cardiomyocytes under normal conditions and describes embryogenesis\r\nand differentiation, in the second part the role of cardiomyocytes in aging and\r\ndisease is discussed and cellular responses under stress conditions illustrated.\r\nCardiomyocytes represent\r\nthe main mass of the heart, and cellular malfunction directly modifies heart\r\nfunction leading to subsequent heart failure. As such, cardiomyocytes are\r\ncausative involved in the main reasons of heart failure, such as post-infarct\r\nremodeling, hypertensive heart disease, idiopathic heart failure, and\r\ninteractions with other co-morbidities such as diabetes. On the other hand,\r\ncardiomyocytes are necessarily target of therapy. Therefore, a precise\r\nunderstanding of cardiomyocytes biology is a pre-requisite for proper disease\r\ntreatment and evidence based medicine.\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is written for\r\ncell biologists, pharmacologists and biomedical researchers specialized in\r\ncardiac and vascular biology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eProf. Dr. Klaus-Dieter Schlüter\r\nInstitute of Physiology\r\nJLU Giessen\r\nGiessen, Germany\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e07 July 2016\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer International Publishing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9783319312491\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e278\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53273899892876,"sku":"9783319312491","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319312491.jpg?v=1787228946","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783319312491","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
