Hardbound. New Advances in Cardiovascular Physiology and Pharmacology presents the proceedings of the IX Latin American Congress of Physiological Sciences and the 2nd Scientific Meeting of the Latin American Society of Hypertension held September 1997 in Caracas, Venezuela. Contributors were selected from among the world's most outstanding investigators in the field of cardiovascular physiology and pharmacology.

Original research and current state-of-the-art reviews are presented discussing hypertension, atherosclerosis, heart failure and drug therapy.

In the area of hypertension, the presentations included topics on what can be learned from ambulatory blood pressure monitoring; on pathogenic factors...the role of angiotensin II receptors, on dopamine receptors and serotonin receptors; on the role of salt and hyperinsulinemia; on the effect of histamine receptors on norepinephrine; and on the use of histamine synthesis antagonists.
