Proteomic and Genomic Analysis of Cardiovascular Disease

This is the first book to provide a comprehensive and unique overview of proteomic and genomic analysis with a specific focus on cardiovascular disease. In its entirety, this book gives tantalizing glimpses into the incredibly dynamic and complex working of a cell and the cardiovascular system as it adapts to stress, its environment, and disease. These new scientific disciplines, proteomics and genomics, collectively give a rare and global perspective on biology.

21 contributions written by renowned experts in the field. * Highlight a variety of proteomic and geomic strategies, their essential technologies along side a glimpse into future technological platforms. * Address important current issues, limitations and promise, in the application of proteomics and genomics, specifically with respect to disease. * Provide new and exciting insights into the biochemical and cellular mechanisms underlying a range of cardiovascular diseases. * Describe translational science in which proteomic-and genomic-derived information is used for clinical discovery and validation of novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets of disease.

An excellent book for graduate students, post-doctoral and clinical fellows along with researchers in academia and industry to read and learn about the latest developments in cardiovascular proteomics and genomics.
