Opis

Focused extensively on the toxic effect of chemicals on the cardiovascular system, this volume discusses several key areas beyond cardio and vascular toxicity, including principles of myocardial cell injury and methods of assessing cardiovascular function. Highlights of this edition include an expanded chapter on passive smoking and the effects of secondary smoke, negative effects from environmental chemicals on the cardiovascular system, and chapters covering antibacterial agents and endotoxins—including cardiovascular toxicity of antimicrobials as well as anti-viral agents, antibacterial agents, and other agents.
