Beschreibung:
Essential hypertension is a heterogeneous group of disorders of no definable cause. The commonly accepted view is that genetic influences interact with environmental factors in the onset of this disease. This volume covers some of the different aspects of modern research in hypertension.
Genes for essential hypertension - the first decade of research, B.J. Morris; candidate genes and small effects on blood pressure, R.A. Hegele; ACEI/D polymorphism - a possible marker for genetic differences in blood pressure regulation, W. Friedl et al; molecular genetics of hypertension in an isolated gulf Arab population, P.M. Frossard et al; morphological and functional characterization of cerebral and coronory blood vessels from hypertensive animal models, Y. Nishimura and A. Suzuki; changes in intracellular Ca2+ signalling indiced by docosahexaenoic acid in vascular smooth muscle cells from a genetic hypertension model, stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP), M. Hirafuji et al; immunopathological correlates of hypertension, M.L.
