Description
The aim of this book is to provide pharmacologists with an understanding of how events at the cellular level impact on the cardiovascular system as a whole. The pharmacological principles and major techniques relating to this area are poorly covered in the literature at present, and this volume will be the first to provide an accessible introduction to the subject.
