Blood Vessel Changes in Hypertension Structure and Function Volume II

<p>Written by established researchers, this two-volume publication provides timely, comprehensive and insightful reviews on recent discoveries in the etiology of hypertension. Structural changes of the blood vessels in hypertension in relation to connective tissue, cerebral vessel structure and innervation, smooth muscle cell hypertrophy and/or hyperplasia, and rarefaction of microvessels are discussed. <br>Also presented are the effects of antihypertensive therapy on vessel structure and function. A unique feature is the inclusion of a chapter on pulmonary vascular changes in pulmonary hypertension, which shows certain changes that are similar to systemic hypertension. This book is of major interest to researchers involved in the study of hypertension and the biology of the blood vessels.</p> Volume IIAltered Cerebral Vessel Innervation in HypertensionThe Cerebral Vasculature in Chronic and Acute HypertensionEndothelial and Smooth Muscle Interactions in HypertensionStructural and Functional Rarefaction of Microvessels in HypertensionNeural and Local Control of the Microcirculation in HypertensionNeural Regulation of Blood Vessels in Normotensive and Hypertensive AnimalsElectrophysiological Mechanisms of Force Development by Vascular Smooth Muscle in HypertensionIndex
