MORE ABOUT THIS BOOK
Main description:
This book reviews novel developments in the endocrinology of hypertension with emphasis on new discovery during the past five years and perspectives on the future. It is written by authors who have spearheaded recent advances. With a focus on new developments in hormones and autacoids related to hypertension, the book provides a resource that will lead to new, active research in the fundamental mechanisms of hypertension.
