Cardiopulmonary Interactions in Sleep: Comprehensive Approaches to Mitral Regurgitation and Sleep-Disordered Breathing delves into the correlation between these two serious conditions. Commonly found in patients with cardiovascular disease and heart failure, the interplay between mitral regurgitation and sleep-disordered breathing creates a vicious cycle of clinical deterioration. Their coexistence not only exacerbates disease severity but also increases mortality and adverse cardiovascular outcomes. This book addresses a significant gap in research by exploring this connection and offering insights into diagnosis and treatment.In addition to covering the diagnosis of these conditions, the book discusses coexistent pathologies such as arrhythmias and heart failure. It is the first to focus on the effects of surgical and transcatheter techniques on sleep-disordered breathing. The positive impact of these interventions on sleep respiration and the resulting benefits for mitral valve repair are meticulously analyzed, making it a valuable resource for understanding and treating these interconnected conditions.

"Handbook of Cardiac Electrophysiology: A Primer for the Uninitiated" is a first-of-its kind volume designed to meet readers where they are regarding their knowledge of the subject. For non-electrophysiolog... physicians, it simplifies the relevant diseases and includes laboratory practices and current therapies. This book offers clearly written electrophysiological information which can be utilized by medical professionals at all levels, from practicing cardiologists, to internists, to medical students. This book explicates topics such as how to manage cardiac electrophysiological diseases in the context of aging patients, and knowing when to refer patients for specialized care. In particular, those seeking information on device therapy, remote monitoring, and pharmacology will not be disappointed. Its format is such that it can be easily used as a reference title, as well as in clinical settings to impart rapid information on presenting cases. This will doubtless become the first book reached for by those wishing to learn more about any aspect of cardiac electrophysiology.

Cardiometabolic Dynamics

Cardiometabolic Dynamics: A Deep Dive into Health and Disease is a penetrating exploration of the most consequential links between metabolic health and cardiovascular diseases. It explores the role of cellular and molecular mechanisms in metabolic dysregulation. Metabolic pathologies are often catalysts for cardiovascular diseases, including atherosclerosis, hypertension, myocardial infarction, cardiomyopathy, and heart failure. Of critical import is how healthy cardiometabolic dynamics help maintain cardiovascular wellness. Cardiometabolic Dynamics: A Deep Dive into Health and Disease emphasizes how metabolic imbalances (including lipid dysregulation, insulin resistance, protein homeostasis, mitochondrial dysfunction and gut microbiota) contribute to the development and progression of cardiovascular diseases. Cardiometabolic Dynamics: A Deep Dive into Health and Disease examines the impact of lifestyle changes on cardiovascular metabolism and health. It highlights the importance of diet, nutrition, and exercise in influencing cardiovascular metabolism, and their role in preventing and treating cardiovascular diseases. Emerging technologies in metabolic and cardiovascular research also feature prominently; the book delves into topics such as the use of omics technologies, genetic engineering, computational modeling, and wearable devices. The described technologies enhance understanding of metabolic disease mechanisms, and will revolutionize diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of cardiovascular conditions. For anyone seeking to understand the critical yet underexplored relationship between metabolic dysfunction and the etiology of cardiometabolic health, this book is certain to be a compelling read.

Artificial Metalloproteins

1st Edition
Volume 723
December 1, 2025
Lisa Olshansky
English

In recent decades, artificial metalloproteins (ArMs) have emerged as powerful vehicles with which to control, implement, and leverage the unique reactivity and spectroscopic properties of their bound metal ions. This volume provides a practical guide to the latest ArM research, and is organized in a hierarchical fashion reflecting the primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary elements of protein structure. The first two sections provide a wide breadth of strategies for incorporating the primary coordination elements required for metal binding, which are further divided into the installation of heme and non-heme metallocofactor sites. The third section relates to the installation and tuning of secondary coordination sphere effects around the metal center to modulation of properties therein. Finally, the fourth section relates tertiary and quaternary protein design elements to resultant changes in properties of the bound metallocofactors. Ultimately the design, preparation, and characterization of ArMs at all of these hierarchical levels are needed to recapitulate the structures and functions of natural metalloproteins. By providing a detailed roadmap for achieving each of these elements, this volume aims to disseminate the cumulative knowledge developed by researchers around the world such that the next generation of ArM researchers can build from it and ultimately, beyond.
