Cardiovascular disease refers to the class of diseases that involve
the heart or blood vessels (arteries and veins). While the term
technically refers to any disease that affects the cardiovascular
system, it is usually used to refer to those related to
atherosclerosis (arterial disease). Chronic heart failure (CHF) has
emerged as a major world-wide epidemic. Recently, a fundamental
shift in the underlying aetiology of CHF is becoming evident, in
which the most common cause is no longer hypertension or valvular
disease, but rather long-term survival after acute myocardial
infarction. Chronic artery disease (CAD) is the cause of CHF in the
majority of patients, and CHF is the only mode of CAD presentation
associated with increasing incidence of mortality. This new and
important book gathers the latest research in cardiovascular
disease with a focus on such topics as: diabetic cardiomyopathy,
the promise of biological pacemakers, stem cells and repairs of the
heart, cardiac autonomic function and sports activity, "tako-tsubo
cardiomyopathy" and others.
