Rezensionen

From the Foreword...

"...readers of this text will find it an invaluable resource regardless of their familiarity with the subject."

From the reviews:

"This book provides a clear presentation of the use of biomarkers in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. ... The author seeks to provide clinicians with an authoritative book on the current state-of-the art in cardiovascular biomarkers. ... It is aimed at practicing cardiologists and does an excellent job of defining the development and use of the current set of cardiovascular biomarkers as well as providing insight into the future directions of the field."
