Natriuretic Peptides
The Hormones of the Heart
Seiten
Knowledge in the field of neuro-humoral regulation of cardiovascular pathophysiology is changing the picture of the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac patients. Looking at the idea of the heart acting not as a pump, but as a "gland", this book gives a description of the complexity of actual knowledge, along with its clinical implications.
The rapid knowledge in the field of neuro-humoral regulation of cardiovascular pathophysiology is changing the picture of current diagnosis and treatment of cardiac patients. The emerging conceptual revolutionary idea is that heart acts not as a pump, merely, but as a "gland", that is as a regulator of circulatory homeostasis and salt-water balance. Cardiovascular pathophysiology has to be written, indeed, on this basis: this physiology textbook gives an up-to-date description of the complexity and novelty of actual knowledge, with all its potential clinical implications.
