The Cellular Basis of Cardiovascular Function in Health and Disease is written by Pawan K. Singal and published by Springer Science & Business Media. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0792399749 (ISBN 10) and 9780792399742 (ISBN 13).

A special issue of Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry comprised of 42 papers selected from an August 1996 conference in Kenora, Ontario, Canada. They cover vascular changes in health and disease, cardiac mechanisms in health, sub-cellular changes in cardiomyopathies and heart failure, and cellular biochemistry in non-cardiovascular tissues. Among the specific topics are studies on hepatic injury and anti-oxidant enzyme activities in rat subcellular organelles following in vivo ischemia and reperfusion, cardiomyopathies and mitochondrial DNA mutations, the contributions of increased efficiency and capacity of protein synthesis to rapid cardiac growth, and the migration of heterogeneous cell populations from the vessel wall in cultures of coronary artery smooth muscles.
