There is a major need for novel therapeutics for prevention and reversal of cardiac pathology associated with heart failure and cardiac enlargement. Over recent years, dramatic progress has been made in unravelling the cellular circuitry involved in cardiac failure, as well as in normal cardiac growth, development and apoptosis. This work has revealed new and unexpected therapeutic targets in the heart. In addition, advances in understanding the role of stem cells in cardiac physiology have suggested strategieNovartis Foundation symposium ;274.Heart failureHeart failureTreatmentPathophysiologyHeartAdaptationElectronic books.Heart failure.Heart failureTreatmentPathophysiology.HeartAdaptation.616.129616.12906Novartis Foundation.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910143717503321Heart failure774825UNINA
