This concise and accessible systems-based text provides an integrated overview which considers both the basic sciences and clinical applications of the cardiovascular system. A general introduction to the cardiovascular system is followed by anatomy and histology, blood and body fluids, biochemistry and excitation-contraction coupling, form and function, integration and regulation, and pathology and therapeutics. The Cardiovascular System at a Glance is a perfect introduction and revision aid to understanding the heart and circulation and now also features: an extended section of self-assessment clinical cases to aid revision and illustrate clinical relevance; up-to-date information on pharmacology of the cardiovascular system; expanded material on history and examination and increased detlail on ECG of arrhythmias; and highly visual colour presentation.". "The third edition of The Cardiovascular System at a Glance is an ideal resource for medical students, whilst students of other health professions and specialist cardiology nurses will also find it invaluable. Examination candidates who need an authoritative yet concise guide to the cardiovascular system will find it extremely useful

Molecular and translational vascular medicine will serve as a state-of-the-art resource for physicians and translational medical researchers alike who are interested in the rapidly evolving field of vascular medicine. The text provides new insight into the basic mechanisms of classic vascular pathophysiologic processes like angiogenesis, atherosclerosis, thrombosis, and vasculitis. Furthermore, it covers new areas of investigation including the role of the ubiquitin proteasome system in vascular disease, endothelial progenitor cells for disease treatment, and the genetic basis of thoracic aortic aneurysms. Lastly, this volume includes sections on the newly emerging field of therapeutic angiogenesis, and the developing technology of nanoparticle-based imaging and therapeutic treatment of the diseased vasculature. All chapters are written by established experts in their fields, including pathologists, cardiovascular surgeons, and internists as well as translational biomedical researchers in a wide range of disciplines. While comprehensive, the material is presented in a manner that simplifies the complex pathophysiologic mechanisms that underlie common vascular diseases.
