| Summary |
The major impetus for the design and execution of Molecular Mechanisms for CardiacHypertrophy and Failure has been the remarkable insights into the pathogenesis ofabnormal cardiac growth and function that have been derived from the application ofmolecular and cellular approaches to this problem over the past decade. The syndrome ofcongestive heart failure is a major and growing public health problem in both developedand developing countries. In developed countries, the aging of our populations hasallowed more protracted impacts of genetic and environmental factors that have resultedin the cont |
