Product Description
Myocardial infarction (IM), the resulting damage to the heart, e.g. ischaemia, remodelling of myocytes and fibrosis of the interstitial tissues, and the subsequent complications, such as heart failure, are major hazards in cardiovascular disease. Pharmacological intervention to minimize the damage to the heart after MI has recently been the subject of increased clinical research since the demonstration that ACE inhibition has a major role in reducing the pathology of heart failure. Written by three investigators in this field, who are also practising clinicians, this book takes the reader from an overview of the pathology of MI through the process of cardiac remodelling to a survey of the available clinical trials, concluding with a discussion of the clinical implications of the trial data. ...

Product Description
Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Acute Myocardial Infarction," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Acute Myocardial Infarction in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Acute Myocardial Infarction when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name Acute Myocardial Infarction, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. ... Read more

Product Description
This book presents new aspects on electrophysiological mechanisms and catecholaminergic contributions in the setting of acute and chronic myocardial ischemia. Special emphasis is placed on the full scope from basic molecular and cellular mechanisms to experimental models of close clinical proximity. A number of internationally distinguished scientists present their latest findings in this significant research area within the perimeter of cardiovascular disease which continues to lead mortality statistics in most industrialized countries. Contents of this book cover, in addition to other subjects, release and uptake of catecholamines in ischemia, regulation of receptors, adrenergic contribution to ventricular arrhythmias and mechanisms of ischemic malignant arrhythmias as well as underlying changes in membrane currents and the electrophysiological response to beta-adrenergic blocking drugs. In addition to original contributions, a number of editorial chapters are included for conclusions and future development in these areas. ... Read more
