Responding to the growth of research in the field over the past decade, this book brings together leading investigators with expertise in pulmonology, pathology, and developmental biology to clarify the mechanisms that regulate the development of bronchial vascular remodeling in asthma and COPD, as well as explore the pathophysiological processes that may impact the formulation of new therapeutic strategies for these conditions.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"...The quality of this book is excellent. Color illustrations and better tables and diagrams would have complemented the high quality clinical material. This book will be extremely useful for clinicians evaluating and managing patients with pulmonary hypertension. In bringing transatlantic expertise together to give us comprehensive basic science clinical research as well as therapeutic implications of airway remodeling, the author has done a commendable job."
-Doody's Review Services
diagrams are excellent and allow the reader to appreciate immediately the extensive nature of the bronchial supply...I would recommend this book to pulmonary specialists, particularly those active in research.
