This second edition provides new and updated methods for establishing reliable and reproducible experimental models of cardiovascular diseases. Chapters detail practical protocols from expert laboratories focusing on cardiovascular research, that would be critical in exploring novel discoveries in cardiac biology, and the development of effective therapeutic approaches. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and key tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and cutting-edge, Experimental Models of Cardiovascular Diseases: Methods and Protocols, Second Edition aims to provide detailed and practical protocols that will be valuable tools for researchers in cardiology to conduct their research.

This second edition volume expands on the previous edition with updated techniques and discussions on topics such as gene suppression, editing, and reprogramming; cardiac gene therapy vectors and promoters; cardiac gene delivery methods; pulmonary hypertension; and patient screening and measuring the efficacy of cardiac gene therapy. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Cutting-edge and comprehensive, Cardiac Gene Therapy: Methods and Protocols, Second Edition is a valuable tool for researchers in cardiology who are conducting gene therapy research. This book will lead to further advancements and successful clinical translations in the field. Chapter "e;Direct Reprogramming of Adult Human Cardiac Fibroblasts into Induced Cardiomyocytes Using miRcombo"e; is available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.
