"A critical addition to the literature yet easy to read" according to Clinical Researcher. "All living organisms have the capacity to sense and respond to mechanical stimuli". This is the opening sentence in a book that describes the molecular basis of cardiovascular function. Although I am in a tangential field, I bought this book to bring myself up to date with ion channels. I expected the book to be good and it was. What I didn't expect was how readable it was. Good balance of technical science and plain English.
This title will attract scientists and investigators in both academic and industrial fields, and clinicians.. Despite intensive research in this field, this molecular book is aimed at providing the state-of-the-art reviews which define how the biologic systems sense changes in environment, alter their activities or function, and cross talk with other neurohormonal systems to modulate cardiovascular/renal function and blood pressure. The biomolecular basis underlying essential hypertension and end organ damage associated with hypertension is characterized as polygenic diseases with complexities such as "environment gene" and "gene-gene" interactions
