Volume 60: Cardiovascular Pharmacology: Endothelial Control, 1st Edition

Description

Cardiovascular disease remains a major cause of death and disability in developed countries and, increasingly so, in the developing world. Presented in this volume of Advances in Pharmacology are some of the most promising possibilities for treating large numbers of individuals afflicted with these conditions
