Natriuretic Peptides: The Hormones of the Heart

Modern cardiovascular science has produced a revolutionary new idea: the heart acts not merely as a pump, but as a "gland", that is as a regulator of circulatory homeostasis and salt-water balance.\n\nThis book combines the classical heamodynamic view with the new neuro-hormonal paradigm, in all its potential clinical implications. The book will interest physiologists and clinicians involved in the study of the cardiovascular system and care of heart patients.Natriuretic Peptides: The Hormones of the Heart is written by Aldo Clerico; Michele Emdin and published by Springer.
