Synopsis

Cardiac insufficiency, a major cause of premature mortality, is a significant source of clinical consultations and hospitalizations and a key focus of medical and pharmaceutical research. New biophysical, cellular physiological and molecular biological techniques have brought significant change to research in this important field and this book aims to bring clinicians and researchers up-to-date on the latest developments and their clinical applications. This volume has been written by a carefully chosen team of leading experts, edited by a major international authority, and published with the full backing of INSERM, the French national medical research institute. The book begins with epidemiology and basic research. The main section deals with the physiological and pathophysiological aspects with particular emphasis on arterial hypertension and cardiomyopathies. This is followed by peripheral and coronary circulations and finally by pharmacological aspects and the management and treatment of arrythmias.
