Opis

A bird's eye view of the most recent trends in studies of the venous system are given in this book. It covers the problems related to endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF) and NO in venous relaxation. In addition, it discusses topics such as coronary venous flow velocity patterns, venous capacitance changes in experimental acute heart failure, drug actions including atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), the effect of baroreflex on the experimentally measured mean circulatory filling pressure (MCFP), hepatic vascular capacitance, human pulmonary "venous" capacitance, human pulmonary venous return curves, and human pulmonary vein flow velocity patterns.
