Description for Mitochondria and the Heart
Hardback. Discusses the role of mitochondria in cardiovascular disease, including biogenesis and function of cardiac mitochondria. Nonbioenergetic, biogenesis and degradation pathways are also explored in this book. Understanding these pathways is important in establishing the diagnosis and treatment of mitochondrial-based cardiac diseases. Editor(s): Marin-Garcia, Jose. Series: Developments in Cardiovascular Medicine. Num Pages: 400 pages, 2 black & white illustrations, 6 colour illustrations, 20 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: MJD.

Mitochondria have been pivotal in the development of some of the most important ideas in modern biology. Since the discovery that the organelle has its own DNA and specific mutations were found in association with neuromuscular and cardiovascular diseases and with aging, an extraordi-nary number of publications have followed, and the term mitochondrial medicine was coined. Furthermore, our understanding of the multiple roles that mitochondria play in cardiac cell homeostasis opened the door for intensive experimentation to understand the pathogenesis and to find new treatments for cardiovascular diseases. Besides its role in adenosine triphosphate generation, mitochondria regu-late a complex network ... Read more
