Product Description: Cardiac surgery is associated with ischemia and reperfusion injury for most of the operations performed. During the last decades, major improvements have been done in reducing both ischemic and reperfusion injury and therefore improving the quality of the operation...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

Product Description: Ischaemia-Reperfusion Injury is concerned with the consequences of interrupting and restoring blood flow to tissues. Many common clinical conditions are caused by interruption of blood flow to tissues (eg, ischaemic heart disease, peripheral vascular disease, stroke); blood flow is also interrupted deliberately in many surgical procedures (eg, cardiac surgery, arterial surgery, transplant surgery, limb surgery with tourniquet)...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

Product Description: Over the past three decades, impressive progress in the field of pathogenesis, prevention and therapy of ischemic heart disease has resulted in a marked decline in mortality in the Western World. However, the incidence of this devastating disease is on the rise in developing countries...read more

Product Description: Circulatory physiology is one of the fastest growing fields in basic science and practical medicine. In this edition the more important of these advances have been incorporated, as well as an estimate of their possible impacts on the care and treatment of cardiovascular patients...read more

Product Description: This publication represents an up-to-date summary of the current understanding of reoxygenation injury in skeletal muscle and outlines future directions of those who will lead the way in this field. Skeletal muscle is generally more tolerant of ischemia reperfusion injury than other organ systems such as brain, heart, kidney, liver and bowel...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)
