The nanosciences are a rapidly expanding field of research with applicability to all areas of health and disease prevention, including cardiology in its broadest sense. This book covers a variety of nano subjects and areas as applied to the heart and circulatory system. There are state-of-the-art chapters on nanoparticles, nanowires, nanoscale topography, nanosensors, nanospheres, nanospin probes, nanomatrices and nanobubbles to name but a few topics. Their applications to cardiovascular disorders and their treatments are also described.

Zielgruppe

cardiologists, cardiovascular scientists, medical doctors, healthcare professionals, pathologists, biologists, biochemists, chemists and physicists, general practitioners as well as those interested in heart disease and nano sciences.
