Sommario/riassunto |
|
The Cardiac Lymphatic System: An Overview provides in-depth coverage of the cardiac lymphatic vessels and the essential nature of their patterning and development in the heart tissue. The volume is organized into three sections: the anatomy of the cardiac lymphatic system, the cardiac lymphatics and heart disease, and cardiac lymphatic signaling. The content of this book will be useful to a broad audience interested in cardiovascular medicine and physiology, including clinicians, students, and researchers in the fields of developmental biology, cardiology and applied anatomy.
