Aging and the heart [electronic resource] : a post-genomic view / José Marín-García ; with the collaboration of Michael J. Goldenthal, Gordon W. Moe.
Cardiac aging, like aging in general, is a complex process involving numerous cellular and molecular changes, which along the way contribute to the expression of the multiple phenotypes of aging, "the different faces" of cardiac aging. Several plausible theories have been considered to exp...
