Features:


  • Develops the concept of the heart as both an endocrine organ and an endocrine target, exploring the endocrine function of the heart in both health and disease
  • Explains how the levels of several cardiac hormones are changed in various cardiac pathologies and how some hormones can be used therapeutically
  • Offers a single resource on cardio-endocrine disease which collates and curates the wide range of advances being made in the areas of molecular biology, biochemistry, physiology, and pathology
