Sinossi

Offers a portrait of how the heart works and in this picture the author shows a close-up of the structural, biochemical, and physiological links between excitation and contraction. This book describes a general scheme of calcium regulation and discusses the possible sources and sinks of calcium.

Recensione

`Since the first edition of Excitation-Contraction Coupling and Cardiac Contractile Force was published 10 years ago, it has become a classic. The second edition is stunning. It retains the zest and compact form of the first edition, contains the wealth of information and analysis that has become the Bers' hallmark and is well written. It is easy and delightful to read.'
W. Jonathan Lederer (excerpted from the Introduction).
`This second edition of a now classical text is both extensively revised and up-to-date. The many illustrations, a large number of which are new to this edition, supplement a clearly written text that is filled with useful information. For those who seek a lucid, comprehensive and authoritative description of the interlocked systems that control the heart beat, I know of no other source that approaches Bers' Excitation-Contraction Coupling and Cardiac Contractile Force.'
Arnold M. Katz
`This book is a breath of fresh (and educated and thoughtful and well-organized) air Don Bers has produced a remarkably approachable and informative volume, clearly superior to others in this field. Active researchers should buy this book for themselves and their students.'
Laurence L. Brunton
