Manual of Research Techniques in Cardiovascular Medicine
Description:
While some aspects of clinical and scientific research are common across medicine, research in
cardiovascular diseases requires knowledge of an increasing array of procedures, techniques, models and
measurements that are highly specialized and unique to this area of investigation. Edited and written by
senior investigators, many of whom have been involved in pioneering studies in cardiovascular disease, this
new book provides today s cardiology research professionals with practical how–to guidance on designing,
conducting, measuring and reporting their research.
Manual of Research Techniques in Cardiovascular Medicine:
Reviews the must–know techniques, methods, analyses, models and measurements of cardiovascular
research in a practical, how–to–do–it approach, resulting in clear–headed guidance to even the most
complicated techniques and methods.
Covers each technique or method beginning with an explanation of when and why it should be selected
followed by step–by–step instructions that include why each step is important; what can go wrong; how to
trouble shoot and correct errors, and how to analyze and report results.
Helps ensure research success, but also, critically, enables readers to understand why and how some
experiments fail.
Contains illustrative figures to reinforce the key components/steps of each method covered.
Includes a companion website with video clips to support the discussion of particularly challenging
techniques, for example animal surgical procedures.
Manual of Research Techniques in Cardiovascular Medicine is an invaluable resource for investigators at all
levels, from technicians, students, fellows and other healthcare professionals who are approaching research
for the first time, to seasoned investigators in cardiovascular disease, pharmacology, and related areas who
need expert guidance on emerging techniques or unfamiliar models or methods.
