This book covers the range of piezoelectric biomaterials having the potential for applications in cardiac tissue engineering (CTE) and addresses the recent developments, trends, and challenges of piezoelectric biomaterials for targeted cardiovascular disease (CVD) therapies.

It covers the applications of engineered piezoelectric biomaterials including recent developments in piezoelectric biomaterials and their possible impact on treating CVDs and CTE. Main points discussed in the book are:

• Focusses on piezoelectric biomaterials for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases
• Covers imitation of mechanoelectrical transduction system as in cardiac tissues
• Comprehensively covers functional piezoelectric biomaterials preparation and applications
• Reviews engineered piezoelectric biomaterials applications for better health care
• Discusses elastomer actuators for heart tissues

This book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, biophysics, and biomaterials.
