It covers cardiovascular function, anatomy, cell signaling and the development of pathology. With contributions from world-renowned research investigators, this up-to-date reference compiles critical knowledge on cardiovascular sex differences, providing researchers and clinicians with a better understanding of the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases in both men and women.
- Identifies the fundamental sex differences in the physiology and pathophysiology of the cardiovascular system
- Describes cell signaling pathways involved in sex-associated cardiovascular function and diseases
- Puts the sex differences in cardiovascular diseases in the forefront to improve cardiovascular prognoses
