Microvascular Research: Biology and Pathology (2Vol Set)

Description
The microvasculature refers to the smallest blood vessels, arterial
and venous, that nurture the tissues of each organ. Apart from
transport, they also contribute to the systematic regulation of the
body. In everyday terminology, the microcirculation is "where the
action is." Microcirculation is directly involved in such disease
states as Alzheimers, inflammation, tumor growth, diabetic
retinopathy, and wound healing- plus cardiovascular fitness is
directly related to the formation of new capillaries in large
muscles.Microvascular Research is the first book devoted exclusively
to this vital systemic component of the cardiovascular system and
provides up to date mini-reviews of normal functions and clinical
states. The contributing authors are senior scientists with
international reputation in their given disciplines. This two-volume
set is a broad, interdisciplinary work that encompasses basic
research and clinical applications equally.
