Biomarkers in Heart Disease is the first title in the AHA
Clinical Series and is aimed at meeting the needs of clinicians,
providing cardiologists, internists, emergency physicians,
laboratorians, and other healthcare providers with a clear
understanding of the role of biomarkers in contemporary
cardiovascular medicine.
The book covers both the strengths and pitfalls of currently
available markers, and provides information on the most promising
biomarkers that are likely to impact practice in the next few
years. It is divided into four parts, organized around clinical
scenarios rather than individual biomarkers.
This book will help the practicing physician decide which biomarkers to measure, when to measure them, how to interpret the results and how to make decisions based on the test result.
