Biology of Heart Disease

This is an absolutely thorough book about heart disease. The chapter on Heat Fields and Cardiac Morphogenesis discusses the role of progenitor cells and embryonic myocardium. Accompanied by excellent diagrams, we learn about genome editing, and then how bioengineering can create replacement heart valves. Genetic heart muscle disorders, aneurisms, and obstructions are all covered here. Once again, we have a great book from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratories Press.
