Subjects in the monograph “Biophysics of the Failing Heart” include state of the art chapters considering major biophysical mechanisms for why hearts responding to acquired or inherited stressors enter into maladaptive processes eventually leading to an inability of the heart to respond efficiently to hemodynamic loads especially during exercise. The chapters describe biophysical techniques that have been applied to determine the triggers for the heart failure process as well as the mechanisms for sustaining the disorders. These techniques include measurements of active and passive mechanical properties and hemodynamics at levels of organization ranging from molecules to hearts beating in situ. ... Read more

Reviews for Biophysics of the Failing Heart
From the reviews: “This is an up-to-date synthesis of the molecular and cellular biophysics of both normal and various cardiac pathologies with an emphasis on heart failure. … It is designed as a useful resource for cardiology practitioners and basic scientists looking for a current in-depth review of cardiac molecular biophysiology. … The book is extensively illustrated with diagrams ...
