Twenty chapters that survey the aspects of current biology and biochemistry relevant to current and future prevention and the treatment of cardiac and circulatory disease, especially atherosclerosis and hypertension. The focus is on vascular cytology, genetic and immunologic mechanisms, and pharmacology. Especially effective color diagrams supplement the text on particularly complex matters. This book could be a useful companion to standard textbooks of cardiology for readers seeking a comprehensible picture of the basic science underlying today's and tomorrow's clinical cardiology.
