Animal Models in Cardiovascular Research

======================================================= ANIMAL MODELS IN CARDIOVASCULAR RESEARCH Professional Veterinary E-Book ======================================================= BOOK INFORMATION ---------------- Title: Animal Models in Cardiovascular Research Format: PDF E-Book File Size: Varies Category: Veterinary Cardiology & Comparative Medicine Specialty: Cardiovascular Research & Experimental Medicine DESCRIPTION ----------- Animal Models in Cardiovascular Research serves as an essential reference for veterinary professionals, researchers, and clinicians engaged in cardiovascular investigation and translational medicine. This comprehensive textbook provides detailed coverage of the various animal species utilized in cardiovascular research, including their anatomical, physiological, and pathological characteristics relevant to modeling human cardiovascular diseases. The text bridges the gap between basic veterinary science and advanced research methodologies, offering practical guidance on selecting appropriate animal models for specific research objectives while addressing ethical considerations and regulatory compliance. The book systematically explores the advantages and limitations of different animal models, from small laboratory animals such as mice, rats, and rabbits to larger species including dogs, pigs, and non-human primates. Each chapter delivers in-depth analysis of species-specific cardiovascular anatomy, disease susceptibility, surgical techniques, and monitoring protocols essential for successful experimental outcomes. Readers will gain valuable insights into contemporary research applications, including studies of atherosclerosis, heart failure, arrhythmias, hypertension, and congenital heart defects. This authoritative resource incorporates the latest advances in cardiovascular research technology, including imaging modalities, hemodynamic assessment techniques, and molecular approaches to disease modeling. With its evidence-based approach and practical focus, this textbook equips readers with the knowledge necessary to design, implement, and interpret cardiovascular research studies that contribute meaningfully to both veterinary and human medicine.
