Myocardial Injury

The chapters of this book represent contributions by plenary lecturers and invited symposium speakers of the Fourth Annual Meeting of the American Section of the International Society for Heart Research, held on May 26-29, 1982 in New Orleans, Louisiana. The aim of the Organizing Committee was to present an up-to-date picture of our knowledge of myocardial injury which would be equally useful to basic scientists and clinicians. The papers of this volume are divided into two groups: a) those dealing primarily with techniques to study myocardial injury, and b) those that discuss the different types of myocardial injury. The grouping of the papers within each of these headings roughly corresponds to the symposia presented at the meeting.
