The aim of these  publications is to provide the clinician with cutting edge, yet  succinct, access to the latest advances in endocrinology.  Historically, our understanding of hormonal disturbances was  restricted to the classical secretory glands and their targets. As  \u003cem\u003eEndocrinology of Cardiovascular Function\u003c\/em\u003e so aptly indicates,  endocrinology is no longer constrained by our early physiologic  understanding of glandular disorder. \u003cem\u003eEndocrinology of\u003c\/em\u003e  \u003cem\u003eCardiovascular Function\u003c\/em\u003e has set the standard of excellence for  the future volumes in this series. \u003cbr\u003e  Shlomo Melmed, M.D. Series Editor, \u003cem\u003eEndocrine Update\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  Growth factors such as IGF-1 play important roles in cardiovascular  cell hypertrophy and the response to acute vascular injury. From  another perspective, traditional endocrine hormones, such as estrogen,  have been found to participate in preventing the development of  atherosclerosis in women, acting through novel mechanisms on target  vascular cells. Other `endocrine' hormones, such as PTHRP and  adrenomedullin, also modulate cardiovascular and renovascular dynamic  states, suggesting new roles for these peptides as vasodilators. This  multi-authored text is dedicated to highlighting emerging and  important new information regarding the endocrinology of the  cardiovascular system. \u003cbr\u003e  Ellis R.
