Features: Cardiovascular diseases are the most common threats to human health, with their incidence ranking first in China. In recent years, with the development of medicine and advances in technology, basic research on cardiovascular diseases has made significant progress. The understanding of these diseases has continuously deepened from the whole-body and tissue levels to the cellular and molecular levels, giving rise to new theories, knowledge, and technologies. Based on years of engagement in basic research on cardiovascular diseases and teaching graduate courses in cardiovascular pathophysiology, faculty members from Xi'an Medical University, Hubei Medical University, Capital Medical University, and Beijing Medical University jointly compiled this book, Cardiovascular Pathophysiology. This book introduces the research progress of major diseases in the cardiovascular system in recent years, focusing on discussing the characteristics of bioactive substances closely related to cardiovascular diseases, their signal transduction, gene expression and regulation, as well as the cellular functional and metabolic disorders caused by their changes. It aims to reveal the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases at the cellular and molecular levels and proposes new directions and insights for clinical prevention and treatment. This book serves as a textbook for graduate courses in Cardiovascular Pathophysiology and is also suitable for continuing education in basic and clinical medicine. It holds reference value for clinical doctors engaged in cardiovascular disease research.
