Description
A study of vascular biology. It presents a detailed account of cardiac cellular physiology, oxidative metabolism, coronary flow and ventricular function, and traces the cellular events involved in congestive heart failure, angina pectoris, acute myocardial infarction, myocardial reperfusion and arrhythmia development. New to this edition are: an introductory section on basic cardiovascular physiology; added information on the electrocardiogram, peripheral circulation, and the molecular biology of ion channels, cardiovascular growth and remodelling; a chapter on blood pressure and and peripheral circulation; two sets of questions at the end of each chapter. There are new illustrations and references have been added to every chapter.

Content
Part 1 Basic cardiovascular physiology: introductory cardiovascular concepts; control of circulation; heart cells and organelles. Part 2 Electrophysiology and electrocardiogram: channels, pumps and exchangers; pacemakers, conduction system and electrocardiogram. Part 3 Calcium and contraction - receptors and signals: excitation - contraction, coupling and calcium; receptors and signal transduction; myocardial contraction and relaxation; vascular smooth muscle and endothelium. Part 4 The heart: oxygen supply - coronary circulation; fuels - aerobic and anaerobic metabolism; ventricular function and load; overload hypertrophy and its molecular biology. Part 5 The circulation: blood pressure and peripheral circulation; cardiac output and exercise; heart failure and neurohumoral responses. Part 6 Pathophysiology: oxygen lack - ischaemia and angina; cell death and myocardial infarction; reperfusion - new ischaemic syndromes; electricity out of control - ventricular arrhythmias.
