This book reports on the current discussion of the role of endothelial function in hypertension. Topics like the role of endothelium in the regulation of vascular and blood pressure, platelet aggregation and thrombosis, lipid metabolism and desposition and the development of artherosclerosis are covered. Contributions by numerous specialists reflect the state-of-the-art of endothelial research from molecular biology to clinical application.

Endothelial dysfunction is now regarded as an early marker of vascular disease and therefore an important target for therapeutic intervention and discovery of novel treatments. Ideal for both basic and clinical scientists, whether in industry or academia, and physicians, Vascular Endothelium in Human Physiology and Pathophysiology provides an up-to-date review of the vascular functions of the endothelium and its role in key areas of cardiovascular disease. It focuses on evidence from studies in humans.
