Heat shock proteins (HSP) were originally described in heat-shocked drosophila by Ritossa in the early 1960's. The purpose of this volume is to give an overview of our current understanding of the heat shock proteins in the cardiovascular system, and to summarize the approaches to the study of heat shock proteins in the heart.
