Cardiovascular Signaling in Health and Disease

This contributed volume focuses on cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), and  explores the ways in which signaling mechanisms at the biochemical,  molecular, and cellular levels in the blood vessels (vascular) and heart  contribute to the underlying causes of development and progression of  the CVDs. This volume covers unique topics such as oxidant signaling in  vascular and heart diseases and health, cytoskeletal signaling in  vascular health and disease, phospholipase signaling in CVDs, lipid  signaling in vascular and myocardial health and diseases, and drug  discovery in cellular signaling for cardiovascular diseases.

This  book assembles the most important discoveries made by leaders on the  cellular signaling mechanisms operating behind the development and  progression of life-threatening CVDs. It is an extremely useful resource  for the investigators in the field of CVDs, and opens the discussion  for further discovery of efficient management and effective treatment of  the CVDs.
