Myocarditis (eBook, PDF)

From Bench to Bedside

Redaktion: Cooper, Jr.

Beschreibung

Leslie T. Cooper, Jr., MD, and a panel of leading clinical and scientific experts comprehensively review both advances in basic scientific understanding and current clinical knowledge of inflammatory heart disease. On the clinical side they discuss the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of nonspecific and specific myocarditis in separate chapters devoted to such major idiopathic clinical entities as cardiac sarcoidosis, giant cell myocarditis, eosinophilic myocarditis, Chagas disease, rheumatic fever, and human immunodeficiency virus-related cardiomyopathy. Research articles complete the picture with discussions of the role of apoptosis in viral myocarditis, rat and mouse models of autoimmune giant cell and lymphocytic myocarditis, and the latest available data on enteroviral proteases and cardiomyopathy.

Rezensionen

"Perusal of this book shows that myocarditis is a very complex disease. There are various pathogenic mechanisms which are important in different patients. Much work remains to be done. This is an excellent book to review what we know at this time. This is a well-referenced book with more than 100 references and many chapters. There are 43 color plates and each chapter includes a short outline and an introductory and a concluding paragraph."-Doody's Health Sciences Book Review Journal

"...reaches its editor's goal to "cover the entire spectrum of myocarditis from basic research to bedside medicine" and "to foster exchange of new ideas between basic and clinical investigators." This multiauthored book contains a large amount of important information and can serve both as a reference and as an account of research in progress...The book is clearly written thoroughly referenced, and well organized, with highlighted headings. It is also well illustrated...I highly recommend this authoritative and very readable book. It is a valuable resource for any physician or scientist seeking to understand myocarditis." - NEW ENGLAND JOURNAL of MEDICINE
