Description for Apoptosis in Cardiac Biology
Hardback. Apoptosis or programmed cell death is increasingly considered to be a major factor in the development and progression of cardiovascular disease. This work gives a synopsis of basic mechanisms, cellular and structural targets and, finally, clinical implications of programmed cell death in the heart. Editor(s): Schunkert, Heribert; Riegger, G. A. J. Series: Basic Science for the Cardiologist. Num Pages: 354 pages, biography. BIC Classification: MJD. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 22. Weight in Grams: 703.
Apoptosis or programmed cell death is increasingly considered to be a major factor in the development and progression of cardiovascular disease. In patients with heart failure the activation of apoptosis may result in the loss of irreplaceable cardiac myocytes promoting the clinical course of the syndrome. Moreover, in the coronary arteries inflammation and apoptosis may weaken critical structures of the vessel wall leading to plaque rupture and, subsequently, to myocardial infarction. Given these deleterious consequences, it seems almost paradoxical that programmed cell death is an active process that, if initiated under ... Read more
