Synopsis

Hardbound. This volume is a worthy successor to volume 4 by virtue of its focus on the recent conceptual revolution in fundamental hypertension research. Without neglecting the heritage of earlier achievements, it highlights such brilliant breakthroughs in molecular genetics as the creation of transgenic animals as a source of a new pathogenesis of hypertension.

A core of (patho)physiological mechanisms operative in experimental hypertension is provided, including several which act to maintain a normotensive state. The volume provides background and technical information on the use of different models of hypertension in a variety of animal species. A wealth of new information regarding the several different complications observed in genetic and other models of hypertension, as well as new animal models dedicated to these aspects, are also presented. Furthermore, new chapters addressing genotyping and the use of transgenics in hypertension are included.<
