Arrhythmias and Sudden Death in Athletes
ISBN: 9780792363378 / Angielski / Twarda / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Cardiovascular diseases are the most important causes of death in the world today. In adults, the most frequent heart disease is acute myocardial infarction, which can lead to sudden death. To prevent these diseases we need to fight against their main risk factors, which include smoking, lipid disorders, hypertension, diabetes and a sedentary life-style, among others. It has been demonstrated that physical exercise or sports at any age provide notable benefits and can help to decrease other risk factors and reduce the incidence of cardio- vascular diseases. Exercise can be simply walking or...

Apoptosis in Cardiac Biology
ISBN: 9780792386483 / Angielski / Twarda / 354 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Apoptosis or programmed cell death is increasingly considered to be a major factor in the development and progression of cardiovascular disease. In patients with heart failure the activation of apoptosis may result in the loss of irreplaceable cardiac myocytes promoting the clinical course of the syndrome. Moreover, in the coronary arteries inflammation and apoptosis may weaken critical structures of the vessel wall leading to plaque rupture and, subsequently, to myocardial infarction. Given these deleterious consequences, it seems almost paradoxical that programmed cell death is an active...

Heat Shock Proteins and the Cardiovascular System
ISBN: 9780792399100 / Angielski / Twarda / 231 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Heat shock proteins (HSP) were originally described in heat-shocked drosophila by Ritossa in the early 1960's. In the last 5 years it has become apparent that these heat shock proteins have important functions both in the normal cell and in the stressed cell. These proteins constitute an endogenous protective system; mutations in the heat shock proteins can be lethal, and there are no known organisms without heat shock proteins. The first observations on heat shock proteins and the heart were made in the 1980's and interest in these proteins increased over the decade. In the last few years...
