Biomarkers in Cardiovascular Diseases

Herausgeber: Tousoulis, Dimitris; Stefanadis, Christodoulos

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The establishment of precise and reliable biomarker tests for the early stages of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is of great importance and can be the cornerstone in the prevention of future CVD. This book focuses on the presentation and evaluation of the most promising classical and novel biochemical markers used in these diseases, which include coronary artery disease, hypertension, heart failure, hyperlipidemia, and peripheral arterial disease. The book reviews the underlying pathophysiological characteristics of each biomarker, as well as potential clinical implications in daily practice.
