Cellular, Molecular and Environmental Contribution in Cardiac Remodeling consolidates the most recent research advances on cellular, molecular, biochemical, and heterogeneous factors contributing to the physiological and pathological cardiac remodeling, elucidating their mechanisms of action and the clinical outcomes of cardiac remodeling. The book extensively covers the factors determining cardiac remodeling, including cardiomyocyte regeneration, cardiac stem cells and their therapeutic potential, cardiac resident pericytes, the role of natural bioactive compounds in cardiac remodeling, chronic cardiac adaptations to exercise, and more. It provides basic science researchers and clinical investigators in cardiology with a current and comprehensive resource on molecular mechanisms and contributing factors to cardiac remodeling, along with its effects and impacts on heart health. New research areas for the future, aimed at preventing, limiting, and reversing bad remodeling, are also discussed.
