Reviews

`It is a book worth reading and presents an outstanding overview about the present day knowledge in this field which has been thankfully put together in this edited version by Sperelakis. This book deserves to be recommended for those who are interested in the biochemistry, biochemical physiology, pharmacology and pathophysiology of the heart.'
Heart and Circulation, 17:9 (1985)
