Coronary Heart Disease

Coronary Heart Disease: Clinical, Pathological, Imaging and Molecular Profiles presents a comprehensive picture of ischemic heart disease to practitioners, students or investigators, who are interested in the varied facets of this complex subject. The pathology of coronary atherosclerosis will be presented in conjunction with the results of anatomic, non-invasive imaging and angiographic studies. Related chapters on atherogenesis will present new insights into the pathophysiology of the vulnerable plaque; role of progenitor cells in vascular injury; inflammation and atherogenesis; and genomics of vascular remodeling. This volume will be of interest to those working in the fields of clinical cardiology, thoracic surgery, pathology and cardiovascular molecular research.
