Hypertension

Modern molecular biology provides a bridge of understanding from the chemical through to the clinical, helping to reduce the risks of stroke, myocardial infarction, renal failure and cardiac failure. Hypertension: Methods and Protocols deals with animal models of hypertension, the methods of assessing the role of free radicals in hypertension that are applicable to all forms of endothelial dysfunction, methods that aid in the genetic dissection of hypertension, protein techniques, gene transfer, and the derivation of cardiomyocytes from embryonic stem cells.
