Nitric Oxide and Radicals in the Pulmonary Vasculature
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The study of the physiologic role of nitric oxide and radicals in vascular pathophysiology is a science in its infancy, and our knowledge is expected to increase exponentially over the next few years. This is the first publication in the field and as such is a unique volume. This book provides a current review of the role of nitric oxide and oxygen radicals in the pulmonary vasculature, in both normal and pathological conditions, and also of the potential manipulation or administration of nitric oxide to treat pulmonary hypertension, whether idiopathic or secondary to congenital heart disease.The text will be valuable to researchers or physicians in pulmonary medicine pediatric cardiologists. Respiratory care physicians and intensive-care specialists who study and treat ARDS or IRDS (adult or infant respiratory distress syndromes) would also benefit from this publication. This book is of particular interest to physiologists concerned with vascular biology or with the activity of nitric oxide and oxygen radicals.
