Cardiac Mechanotransduction (Electronic book text)

This book takes a multidisciplinary approach to the topic. The chapters depict the many faces of mechanotransduction, from membrane and ion channel level to mechanics, biochemical signaling and regulation via hormone systems. Cardiac Mechanotransduction is of interest to basic life sciences, like physiology, biochemistry and pharmacology, but also to clinicians working with heart-related problems, such as cardiologists and internists.
