Summary:

This book is the very first one focusing on the proteomic and genomic analysis of cardiovascular disease, the number one killer in the industrial world. These new research approaches have already revealed new and exciting discoveries that will eventually aid in the development of new diagnostic markers and new therapeutic approaches for the control and treatment of heart disease. Organized in two parts the book describes the potentials but also the limitations of these technologies. The various strategies and technical aspects that will assist the growing number of researchers in the cardiovascular area attempting to utilize these approaches are highlighted. Also the transition into clinical applications is covered. Thus, the book offers a wonderful opportunity to educate and inform graduate students, post-doctoral fellows but also professional researchers in academia and industry about the new developments in this area.
