by Ernesto L. Schiffrin, Physician-in-Chief, Sir Mortimer B. Davis-Jewish General Hospital (Montreal)
This is a short précis on Vascular smooth muscle in hypertension, which covers the history, the structure and the function of smooth muscle in the wall of blood vessels as it pertains to hypertension, including the participation of perivascular fat and the role of immune cells in vascular injury. Because of the complexity of molecular pathways, function and structure that are covered, these areas are addressed relatively superficially. However, the authors have succeeded in including enough detail that physiologists and pharmacologists at any career stage, researchers of vascular biology and hypertension, students of cardiovascular physiology, even cardiologists interested in vascular biology, will find this short book very useful to acquire an idea of mechanisms that participate in the contribution that vascular smooth muscle in the wall of blood vessels make to elevated blood pressure.
