This book has addressed the contributions of several key signal transduction pathways which are central to our understanding of cardiovascular physiology and pathophysiology. Aberrations in these signaling events have been suggested to be involved in a host of cardiovascular pathologies, such as cardiac arrhythmias, congenital heart failure and hypertension. All the chapters have been written by well known leaders in the fields, which cover a wide range of intracellular events that regulate various aspects of cardiovascular functions. This book will be of interest to both basic as well as clinical scientists seeking to understand the molecular basis of cardiovascular diseases, and also to those interested in defining targets for cardiovascular pharmacotherapy.
