Publisher's Synopsis
The latest progress made in the application of molecular biology to biomedical research and of growth-adaptive responses to cardiovascular disorders is examined in this detailed volume.;Among the many topics covered are: designing drugs for the treatment of hypertrophy, revolutionary forms of thrombolytic therapy, molecular biological approaches to structure-function analysis and the targeting of organ-specific drugs toward the development of safe effective pharmaceutical treatment of cardiovascular disorders. Cloning and sequencing techniques as they apply to the treatment of thrombosis, artherosclerosis and prosthetic device failure and the more effective prevention of sudden cardiac death through the characterization and sequencing of sodium channels for disease diagnosis and clinical intervention are also examined.
