Emerging Technologies for Heart Diseases: Volume 1: Heart Failure and Valvular Disease covers current and novel therapeutic options for cardiac patients. The first volume is dedicated to heart failure and valvular disorders, with the second covering myocardial ischemia and arrhythmias. Each clinical topic is addressed in several chapters that are divided according to the therapeutic approach (mechanical or electrical device-based, or cell and gene-based). Each chapter focuses on clinically available solutions, new therapies currently under evaluation, promising preclinical technologies, and emerging concepts and innovations that have not yet been tested. In addition, the book discusses future challenges and opportunities for clinical implementation.
