Vascular Inflammation: A Novel Understanding of Vascular Diseases and Innovative Strategies for Prevention presents a novel approach to understanding vascular function, vascular dysfunction and vascular diseases. In this title, renowned international experts provide answers with regards to the definition of vascular inflammation, explore a range of relevant aspects of the concept, along with their impact in both understanding as well as treating vascular inflammation and its consequences. Topic include history, mechanisms, genetic basis, disease manifestations and treatment approaches. This cross-disciplinary book is intended for researchers and physicians in the fields of vascular biology, immunology and atherosclerosis.
Although there is a large and growing body of evidence about the functional impact of vascular inflammation, the concept as such has never been well defined. Vascular Inflammation is key in understanding any vascular pathology, as well as vascular development and physiological vascular function.
