Vascular Endothelium Physiological Basis of Clinical Problems

Vascular Endothelium Physiological Basis of Clinical Problems / edited by John D. Catravas, Allan D. Callow, C. Norman Gillis, Una S. Ryan.

This monograph contains the proceedings from the Advanced Study Institute on "Vascular Endothelium: Physiological Basis of Clinical Problems" which took place in Corfu, Greece in June 1990. The meeting consisted of twenty-eight lectures, most of them adapted as full length papers in this v...
