K\u003csup\u003e+\u003c\/sup\u003e channels determine or modulate many functions of  vascular smooth muscle, endothelial and inflammatory cells, and thus  are central to regulation of arterial tone and control of cell  proliferation. They are also promising targets for antihypertensive  treatments with drugs which open and close specific types of K\u003csup\u003e+\u003c\/sup\u003e  channels, making for an active field of research. With their ability  to control vascular tone, voltage-gated K\u003csup\u003e+\u003c\/sup\u003e channels play a  significant role in both pulmonary and systemic hypertension as well  as in cardiac arrhythmias. This book will highlight the latest  discoveries by leading researchers pertaining to the role of K\u003csup\u003e+\u003c\/sup\u003e  channels in the heart and blood vessels in normal physiology and a  variety of disease states.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-11-05\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461354871\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-1303-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 254cm x178cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 899\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44340834402444,"sku":"9781461354871","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461354871.jpg?v=1770819131","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781461354871","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
