Product Description
This volume provides a comprehensive description of the diverse processes involved in athoerosclerosis, the cause of heart disease and stroke. It reviews evidence for the genetic basis of these processes and discusses how modern molecular biological approaches are being applied to further understand their roles in the development of disease. The chapters, written by investigators at the cutting edge of research, are organized into four sections. The first deals with cellular interactions of the artery wall and blood elements involved in atherogenesis. The second section analyzes the biochemical and genetic determinants of plasma lipid metabolism and their influence on the disease process. The third section reviews in detail each of the more recently appreciated risk factors for atherosclerosis, while the final section focuses on the genetics of coronary artery disease. ... Read more
