Product Description
This up-to-date and comprehensive set of two CD-ROM discs provides a superb collection of official Federal government documents on the subject of cardiomyopathy. Cardiomyopathy refers to diseases of the heart muscle. These diseases enlarge the heart muscle or make it thicker and more rigid than normal. In rare cases, scar tissue replaces the muscle tissue. Some people live long, healthy lives with cardiomyopathy. Some people don't even realize they have it. In others, however, it can make the heart less able to pump blood through the body.For patients, practical information is provided in clearly written patient education documents. For medical professionals, doctor reference tools and texts have detailed technical information and clinical background material. There is no other reference that is as fast, convenient, and portable - everything you need to know, from the federal sources you trust. This thoroughly researched collection presents vital information from many authoritative sources: Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Centers for Disease Control (CDC), National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the relevant institute for this disease, and others.In addition to the comprehensive disease-specific coverage, this disc set also includes our Medical Encyclopedia, a $19.95 value! The Encyclopedia presents a collection of official documents about a wide range of medical topics, diseases, illnesses, health and wellness. There is vital information from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), National Cancer Institute, and more.

Different types of cardiomyopathies are associatedwith variable hypertrophic response. A number of growth factors are thought to play a role inpathologic cardiac remodeling. We compared themodulation of the TGF-? superfamily and IGF-1signaling pathways and their target genes, the cellcycle regulatory proteins in tachycardia-induceddilated cardiomyopathy, a model with no detectablehypertrophy and in ischemic cardiomyopathy, a modelwith a marked hypertrophic reaction.Tachycardiomyopathy was characterized by chambersdilation with no identifiable hypertrophy. Ischemiccardiomyopathy was characterized by eccentrichypertrophy. ... Read more
