Examines concepts on the cellular and molecular basis of chemically induced cardiovascular injury. The text also explores the use of in-vitro technology in cardiovascular toxicity testing and describes methods used in industry to assess the acute and chronic cardiovascular toxicity of drugs.
Focused extensively on the toxic effect of chemicals on the cardiovascular system, Cardiovascular Toxicology, Fourth Edition is comprised of several key sections beyond cardio- and vascular toxicity, such as principles of myocardial cell injury and key methods of assessing cardiovascular function.





New developments include:




an expanded chapter on passive smoking, which includes the adverse effects of both first-hand smoking and secondary smoke inhalation
a new chapter on the negative effects of environmental chemicals on the cardiovascular system
chapters covering antibacterial agents and endotoxins that include new information on cardiovascular toxicity of antimicrobials, as well as anti-viral agents, antibacterial agents, and other agents

DANIEL ACOSTA, JR. is Dean of the College of Pharmacy, University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. He is the first and only Hispanic dean at the University of Cincinnati and the only Hispanic dean of pharmacy among the research-intensive colleges of pharmacy in the United States. Dr. Acosta is active in numerous scientific and professional organizations, serves on several editorial boards of toxicology and in vitro journals, and has been appointed to a number of government and private committees. He has been the recipient of many awards and honors, including the Burroughs Welcome Toxicology Scholar Award, the Foundation Award in Excellence from the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America Foundation, and several endowed professorships from the University of Texas, where he taught for 22 years. He was also elected president of the Society of Toxicology from 2000 to 2001 and was recently honored with the 2005 Society of Toxicology’s Enhancement of Animal Welfare Award. At the University of Cincinnati, he has been a driving force in implementing a new entry-level Pharm.D. program, in addition to several new degree programs, including one of the first national masters programs in drug development.
