Produktbeschreibung

This book synthesizes the major research advances in molecular, biochemical, and translational aspects of aging and heart failure over the last four decades and addresses future directions in management and drug discovery. It presents clinical issues and molecular mechanisms related to heart failure, including the changing demographics in the aging population with heart failure; hypertension and prevention of diastolic heart failure in the aging population; polypharmacy and adverse drug reactions in the aging population with heart failure; changes in the heart that accompany advancing age from humans to molecules; aging-associated alterations in myocardial inflammation and fibrosis; and aging-related changes in mitochondrial function and implications for heart failure therapy. The book succinctly summarizes the large volume of data on these key topics and highlights novel pathways that need to be explored. Featuring contributions from leading clinician-scientists, Aging and Heart Failure: Mechanisms and Management is an authoritative resource on the major clinical issues in heart failure therapy in the elderly for cardiologists, gerontologists, and internists.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:
"This book details the clinical, physiological, and molecular aspects of heart failure pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management. ... The book caters mainly to advanced care practitioners in adult cardiovascular disease and primary care, including physicians, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners. Investigators with an interest in the molecular changes of the aging cardiovascular system also would benefit from this book. Finally, nurses who are part of a heart failure team or care for patients with cardiovascular complications will find it useful." (Shawn Ragbir, Doody's Book Reviews, June, 2014)
