Comprehensive and in-depth in its
coverage, Atherosclerosis: Cellular, Molecular &
Biochemical Mechanism and Novel Therapy reviews the recent
progress in atherosclerosis research and offers cutting edge
perspectives from experts in the field. Written by an international
team of authors including leading physician-scientists, research
experts and physicians, chapters are divided into four major
sections, covering risk factors, cellular and molecular mechanisms,
biochemical mechanisms and novel and future therapeutics.
Atherosclerosis: Cellular, Molecular & Biochemical
Mechanism and Novel Therapy analyses recent progress from both
conceptual and technological perspectives, suggesting new
directions for atherosclerosis research and treatment for a growing
population of researchers and clinicians in cardiovascular and
related fields.
