Inflammation in Heart Failure, edited by W. Matthijs Blankesteijn and Raffaele Altara, is the first book in a decade to provide an in-depth assessment on the causes, symptoms, progression and treatments of cardiac inflammation and related conditions. This reference uses two decades of research to introduce new methods for identifying inflammatory benchmarks from early onset to chronic heart failure and specifically emphasizes the importance of classifying at-risk subgroups within large populations while determining the patterns of cytokines in such classifications. Further, the book details clinical applications of the pathophysiological mechanisms of heart failure, diagnosis and therapeutic strategies. Inflammation in Heart Failure's breadth of subject matter, easy-to-follow structure, portability, and high-quality illustrations create an accessible benefit for researchers, clinicians and students. Presents updated information and research on the relevant inflammatory mediators of heart failure to aid in targeting future translational research as well as the improvement of early diagnosis and treatmentProvides research into better understanding the different inflammatory mediators that signal the underlying diseases that potentially lead to heart failureContains 20 years of research, offering a brief overview of the topic leading to current opinions on, and treatment of, heart failureProvides a structured, systematic and balanced overview of the role of inflammation in heart failure making it a useful resource for researchers and clinicians, as well as those studying cardiovascular diseases INDICE: Chapter 1: State-of-the-art of Inflammation in Heart FailureChapter 2: Cardiac (Reverse) Remodeling: Innate ImmunityChapter 3: The Role of Inflammation in Myocardial InfarctionChapter 4: The Inflammatory Aspects of Hypertension in HFChapter 5: Inflammatory CardiomyopathyChapter 6: The inflammatory Aspects of Atherosclerosis in HFChapter 7: Crosstalk between Extracellular Matrix and InflammationChapter 8: Crosstalk between Brain and InflammationChapter 9: Translation of Animal Models to Clinical PracticeChapter 10: Inflammatory Biomarkers: The Dynmaic Progression from the Early Onset to Chronic HFChapter 11: Technological Aspects to Measure Inflammatory MarkersChapter 12: Imaging of Inflammation in Cardiovascular DiseaseChapter 13: From Deeper Biological Insights to Precision Medicine: Measuring up to the Complexities of the System PatientChapter 14: Mineralocorticoid Receptor AntagonistsChapter 15: Modulation of the PPARs ActivityChapter 16: The Inflammatory Modulation by StatinsChapter 17: miRNAs Implications in the Development of Heart FailureChapter 18: The Clinical Perspective of Anti-Inflammatory Therapy in Heart Failure
