Description: Reference on two of the most exciting areas of cardiovascular research - myocardial regeneration and stem cell therapy - for the treatment of disease. Edited by pioneers in the area, with contributions from every major investigator worldwide, it covers: The biology of stem cells; the actions of stem cells from the bone marrow, the heart, and embryos on the normal restorative and repair functions of the heart and blood vessels; how stem cells could contribute to myocardial recovery in the face of injury and aging; how adjuvant therapy with growth factors might enhance stem cell activity in regeneration and repair; and clinical applications and clinical experiences.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.
