Summary:

"Now in its second edition, the Encyclopedia of Cardiovascular Research and Medicine is a four-volume print and online reference that brings together the essential knowledge needed to understand the heart and vascular system. Designed for students, clinicians, researchers, and instructors, it offers clear, authoritative coverage of how the cardiovascular system develops, functions, becomes injured, and can be repaired. Because cardiovascular disease remains the world’s leading cause of death, this edition provides the up-to-date scientific and clinical insights needed to support research, inform care, and improve outcomes. This revised edition includes around 180 expert articles spanning cardiac development and regeneration, vascular biology, genetics and omics technologies, coronary and acute cardiac syndromes, heart failure, electrophysiology and device therapies, imaging, population health, and modern research methods. By spanning basic, clinical, and population sciences, the encyclopedia supports a wide range of users from those seeking introductory knowledge to specialists pursuing advanced expertise in cardiovascular medicine"-- ScienceDirect
