Drugs, Enzymes and Receptos of the Renin-Angiotensin System Volume 1 (The Victor Chang Molecular Cardiology Series, V. 1)

Since 1898, when Tigerstadt and Bergman first extracted renin from rabbit kidney, the renin-angiotensin system has been the forerunner of clinical approaches to cardiovascular diseases using molecular tools. Drugs, Enzymes and Receptors of the Renin-Angiotensin System is designed to highlight molecular and clinical approaches to understanding the renin-angiotensin system.
Chapter topics have been specifically chosen to cover selected contemporary, controversial and unresolved issues. A novel and unique feature of this book is that a commentary on each chapter, written by an independent peer or peers, is included to present alternative views, greater depth and a different perspective. Clinicians and researchers alike will find this volume a stimulating, and perhaps even entertaining, addition to their libraries.
