This third edition reflects the very rapid advances that have been made in our understanding and management of cardiovascular disease since the first (2001) and second (2005) editions. All of the chapters from the second edition have been extensively reviewed and rewritten. There are new chapters on Cardiovascular Disease in Women, Diabetes and the Cardiovascular System, and Cardiovascular Disease in Cancer Patients, reflecting an increasing awareness of the special features and needs of these populations. With the very rapid developments in the molecular and cell biology of cardiovascular disease, the previous chapter on Cardiovascular Gene and Cell Therapy has been split into separate chapters on Cardiovascular Gene Therapy and Cardiovascular Cell Therapy.
