The Myocardium

The Myocardium, Second Edition is a comprehensive presentation of cardiac function, including ultrastructure, cellular development and morphogenesis, ion channels, ion transporters, excitation-contraction coupling and calcium compartmentation, mechanics and force production, and energy metabolism. The Second Edition presents the new molecular, subcellular, and cellular developments which have occurred in this rapidly expanding field during the past 22 years.

Comprehensive overview of all aspects of heart function at the cellular, subcellular, and molecular levelIntegrates molecular events to give understanding of global cardiac functionIncludes basis of important pathological states
