The basic phenomena of intra- and intercellular communication and
the transport signals within and between the cells controlling
cardiac function are described and discussed in this volume. The
amazing synchronization of millions of cells and billions of
nanoscale molecular motors, ion gates, and ion pumps assure normal
cardiac function; whereas disharmony and local transport and signal
disruptions are the forecasters, and eventual causes, of pathologic
conditions and heart failure.
Although this volume concentrates on basic phenomena, strong
emphasis is given to the related clinical and pharmaceutical
manifestations, and chapters have been contributed by molecular
biologists, pharmaceutical experts, and cardiac scientists.
This volume will promote better understanding and, consequently,
better clinical and pharmaceutical handling of the various aspects
of cardiac pathophysiologies associated with electrical,
mechanical, and metabolic and circulatory disorders in the
cardiovascular system.
