| Summary |
This volume covers the latest advances in technologies that look at familial cardiomyopathies in greater detail, and provides new computational and experimental models that model, study, and detect disease at earlier stages. Together, this allows interdisciplinary research experiments to provide new insights for the development of novel interventions that slow, stop, or even reverse the disease process. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Cutting-edge and practical, Familial Cardiomyopathies: Methods and Protocols aims to inspire further development of techniques used to study myocardial disease and the development of new, sarcomere-targeted therapeutic approaches for the maintenance of heart health and the treatment of heart failure. |
