From the reviews:
“This is an up-to-date synthesis of the molecular and cellular biophysics of both normal and various cardiac pathologies with an emphasis on heart failure. … It is designed as a useful resource for cardiology practitioners and basic scientists looking for a current in-depth review of cardiac molecular biophysiology. … The book is extensively illustrated with diagrams and figures. This is a necessary addition to the literature addressing the biophysiology in the failing heart. It will be useful to cardiovascular specialists and basic scientists.” (Don A. Davis, Doody’s Book Reviews, January, 2014)
