Thesis
Hatch, F. S. (2012). Age-associated changes to calcium handling proteins across the whole heart. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4215591

Age is a major risk factor for the development of cardiac problems. The ageing process causes significant changes to cardiac structure and function. These are linked with the elderly heart’s diminished ability to respond to cardiac demand and associa... Read More about Age-associated changes to calcium handling proteins across the whole heart.
