The knowledge on the causal mechanisms of myocardial injury  in ischemia-reperfusion has greatly progressed in recent years, both  to clinical and experimental research. This book provides a critical  and comprehensive overview on the current discussion of myocardial  protection in cardiac experimental research and surgery. Leading  groups from Europe, the U.S. and Japan have contributed reviews of  their special fields.\u003cbr\u003e  On the basic science side, major topics discussed are the mechanisms  of stunning and lethal reperfusion injury, the role of the endothelium  and leukocyte activation in postischemic myocardial dysfunction, and  the differences between the adult and neonatal myocardium. On the  clinical side, the major concepts and procedures for cardioplegic  myocardial protection, their rationales, application and respective  merits are discussed. In a third part of the book, possible approaches  for the monitoring of myocardial injury during ischemia and  reperfusion are evaluated, with particular attention to their  intraoperative use.\u003cbr\u003e  This book brings together the scientific discussions on  ischemia-reperfusion in experimental cardiology and cardiac surgery, a  task needed for a long time. It is of general interest for clinicians  as well as research workers and students in the cardiac field. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-23\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401047500\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-1713-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x160cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 458\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44398564442252,"sku":"9789401047500","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401047500_f598b5af-5129-41d7-901e-5cec8511af73.jpg?v=1775710391","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789401047500","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
