Synopsis

The study of chemical signaling between different cell types is one of the most exciting areas in current cardiovascular research. Significant progress has been made during the last few years and a number of intercellular mediators have been structurally identified and their regulation analyzed. These developments have a major impact on cardiovascular pharmacology. This includes both the molecular design of new drugs, together with an improved understanding of the action of established compounds.

Experts of international repute address in this volume relevant aspects of recent research and emerging themes in the field of myocardial ischemia. Particular emphasis is placed upon the regulation, function and pharmacological modification of eicosanoids, nitric oxide and endothelins, with a outlook on future drug developments.

Containing the latest data in the field, this volume is of interest to the pharmacologists, physicians, and all other scientists working in the fields of ischemia and mediator research.
