Osteocardiology

This book describes the field of osteocardiology, an exciting and new sub-discipline within cardiovascular science, which will become the cornerstone for defining the timing and treatment of cardiovascular calcification in the future. With the advent of large cohort databases and experimental mechanistic studies, research has elucidated evidence confirming that traditional cardiovascular risk factors are responsible for the development of atherosclerotic calcification and identified the critical elements of atherosclerosis, including foam cell formation, vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and extracellular matrix synthesis, which over time forms bone in the heart.

Osteocardiology: Cardiac Bone Formation is a practical overview of bone formation in the heart and is destined to become the cornerstone for education of medical students, residents, fellows, graduate students, physician scientists and scientists, for future research and ongoing development in medical therapies to slow or halt the progression of bone formation in the heart.

Aceasta carte descrie domeniul osteocardiologiei, o sub-disciplina interesanta si noua in stiinta cardiovasculara, care va deveni piatra de temelie pentru definirea momentului si a tratamentului calcificarii cardiovasculare in viitor. Odata cu aparitia bazelor de date de cohorte mari si a studiilor mecanice experimentale, cercetarile au elucidat dovezi care confirma faptul ca factorii de risc cardiovascular traditionali sunt responsabili pentru dezvoltarea calcificarii aterosclerotice si au identificat elementele critice ale aterosclerozei, inclusiv formarea celulelor spumante, proliferarea celulara a muschiului neted vascular si extracelulara sinteza matriciala, care de-a lungul timpului formeaza osul in inima. Osteocardiologie: formarea oaselor cardiace este o prezentare practica a formarii osoase in inima si este destinata sa devina piatra de temelie pentru educatia studentilor la medicina, a rezidentilor, semenilor, studentilor absolventi, a oamenilor de stiinta oameni de stiinta, pentru cercetari viitoare si dezvoltare continua in terapiile medicale pentru a incetini sau a opri progresia formarii osoase in inima.
