Endothelium and Cardiovascular Diseases: Vascular Biology and Clinical Syndromes provides an in-depth examination of the role of endothelium and endothelial dysfunction in normal vascular function, and in a broad spectrum of clinical syndromes, from atherosclerosis, to cognitive disturbances and eclampsia. The endothelium is a major participant in the pathophysiology of diseases, such as atherosclerosis, diabetes and hypertension, and these entities are responsible for the largest part of cardiovascular mortality and morbidly. Over the last decade major new discoveries and concepts involving the endothelium have come to light. This important reference collects this data in an easy to reference resource.
Written by known experts, and covering all aspects of endothelial function in health and disease, this reference represents an assembly of recent knowledge that is essential to both basic investigators and clinicians.
Provides a complete overview of endothelial function in health and diseases, along with an assessment of new information Includes coverage of groundbreaking areas, including the artificial LDL particle, the development of a new anti-erectile dysfunction agent, a vaccine for atherosclerosis, coronary calcification associated with red wine, and the interplay of endoplasmic reticulum/oxidative stress Explores the genetic features of endothelium and the interaction between basic knowledge and clinical syndromes

Endothelium and Cardiovascular Diseases: Vascular Biology and Clinical Syndromes, Second Edition offers new discoveries in clinical settings, cellular, molecular, genetic, and epigenetic mechanisms which have led to novel understanding of the key role of endothelium in both cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular diseases. The innovations it presents have implications for both pathophysiological concepts and clinical decisions. Among other topics, cardiovascular and pulmonary medicine, immunity and inflammation, genetics and epigenetics, heart failure, renal disease, familial hypercholesterolemia, diabetes, and hypertension are discussed at length.With 20 new chapters covering everything from endothelium transition to connective tissue disorders, this second edition is sure to be indispensable to anyone wishing to learn the importance of endothelium to every facet of health.
Examines the ways in which endothelium relates to almost every cardiovascular and systemic diseaseProvides a critical, in depth, pathophysiological review of endothelium which cannot be found in any other single volumeOffers cutting-edge, critical knowledge for investigators and practitioners alike, information which has evolved rapidly since the previous edition
