Immune Dysfunction and Immunotherapy in Heart Disease

Immune Dysfunction and Immunotherapy in Heart Disease PDF l 3.81 MB l 322 Pages

Current heart failure therapeutics affectssymptoms without appreciably reducing the mortality rate of 50 0n fiveyears — suggesting a failure in treating the underlying mechanism. Thisbook proposes a new mechanism for heart failure; immune mediatedcardiac remodelling for cardiac dysfunction.The outstanding editor team of two internationally recognizedimmunologists — Ronald Watson, who has studied heart disease in immunedysfunction for a decade and has a patent for an immunotherapy of heartdisease by immune regulation, and Douglas Larson, whose experience incardiac transplantation immunology has provided the foundation forresearch into novel therapeutics for heart failure and hypertension -makes Immune Dysfunction and Immunotherapy in Heart Disease thedefinitive reference to the state of the science in this area.

The four parts of the book address:

* Immune Dysfunction Leading to Heart Disease: Induction by Physiological Changes

* Immune Dysfunction Promoting CVD: Induction by Transplantation Drugs

* Immune Dysfunction Leading to Heart Dysfunction: Induction or Prevention by Cardiotherapeutic Drugs

* Immune Dysfunction Leading to Heart Disease: Induction by PathogensBoth researchers and practitioners will find this authoritative volumean excellent source of information on novel immune targetedtherapeutics.
