Produktbeschreibung

Sex Differences in Cardiovascular Physiology and Pathophysiology is a comprehensive look into the often overlooked and underappreciated fundamental sex differences between men and women and how those differences affect the cardiovascular system. It covers cardiovascular function, anatomy, cell signaling and the development of pathology. With contributions from world-renowned research investigators, this up-to-date reference compiles critical knowledge on cardiovascular sex differences, providing researchers and clinicians with a better understanding of the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases in both men and women.

• Identifies the fundamental sex differences in the physiology and pathophysiology of the cardiovascular system
• Describes cell signaling pathways involved in sex-associated cardiovascular function and diseases
• Puts the sex differences in cardiovascular diseases in the forefront to improve cardiovascular prognoses
