Description
The second edition of this work has been revised to incorporate contemporary concepts on molecular and cellular mechanisms in cardiac physiology. With the aid of 200 diagrams, Dr. Opie gives an account of cardiac cellular physiology, oxidative metabolism and coronary flow and ventricular function. He traces the cellular events involved in congestive heart failure, angina pectoris, acute myocardial infarction, myocardial reperfusion and arrhythmia development. This edition includes extended coverage of cardiac cellular physiology with new chapters on receptors and signal transduction and on vascular smooth muscle and endothelium. New material is also presented on the molecular biology of myocardial hypertrophy, the involvement of free radicals in reperfusion and the role of the peripheral circulation in health and disease. A new introductory section provides background information on the heart cells and organelles and the control of circulation.

Content
Introduction: physiology and metabolism as the basis of cardia function; heart cells and organelles; control of the circulation. Part 1 Cellular physiology: channels, pumps and exchangers; pacemaker and conduction system; intracellular calcium fluxes and sarcoplasmic reticulum; receptors and signal transduction; myocardial contraction and relaxation; vascular smooth muscle and endothelium. Part 2 Oxidative metabolism and coronary flow: fuels - carbohydrates and lipids; ATP synthesis and breakdown - adenosine and response to ischemia; oxygen supply - coronary flow. Part 3 Ventricular function: ventricular function; myocardial oxygen uptake - heart work and exercise; ventricular hypertrophy and its molecular biology. Part 4 Pathophysiology: ventricular overload and heart failure; lack of oxygen - ischemia and angina; cell death and myocardial infarction; myocardial reperfusion - calcium and free radicals; electricity out of control - ventricular arrhytyhmias.
