This knowledge was the basis of the  breakthrough for diagnostic techniques like the Swan-Ganz catheter,  coronary arteriography, left and right heart biopsies, and invasive  measurements of contractility, as well as therapeutic tools including  aortocoronary bypass surgery, percutanous transluminal coronary  angioplasty, and a broad field of pharmacological interventions for  the whole spectrum of cardiovascular diseases, especially chronic  heart failure. \u003cbr\u003e  It was during the last decade that the scientific world focused on the  evolution of molecular biology of the cardiovascular system so that  cardiovascular physiology seemed to become less important. Regarding  the myocardium, molecular alterations of important functional proteins  (phenotype changes), as well as signal transduction pathways of  contractility and cardiac growth have been elucidated. The functional  importance of a number of genes has undoubtedly been proven with the  help of transgenic animals. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eMechanics and Energetics of the Myocardium\u003c\/em\u003e provides an overview  for those researchers and practioners interested in the broad field of  molecular biology and physiology of the cardiovascular system.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9781461352846\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461352846\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-0879-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 216\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44343313727628,"sku":"9781461352846","price":153.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461352846_65b605ff-c13b-411a-b98b-dcf37c87ae41.jpg?v=1755052388","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781461352846","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
