Description
Summary:The purpose of this book is to provide a bird's-eye view of the most recent trends in studies of the venous system. This book is a multi-disciplinary compendium of studies based on functional anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, and cardiology of the venous system. This book covers the problems related to endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF) and NO in venous relaxation; in addition, it discusses topics including coronary venous flow velocity patterns, venous capacitance changes in experimental acute heart failure, drug actions including atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), the effect of baroreflex on the experimentally measured mean circulatory filling pressure (MCFP), hepatic vascular capacitance, human pulmonary "venous" capacitance, human pulmonary venous return "curves", and human pulmonary vein flow velocity patterns.
Item Description:Based on the Gifu Workshop on Veins and Vascular Capacitance held on Aug. 9, 1992 in Gifu, Japan.
