Gerald Reaven, the discoverer of Syndrome X, and a panel of world-class investigators thoughtfully summarize our current understanding of how insulin resistance and its compensating hyperinsulinemia play a major role in the pathogenesis and clinical course of high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease-the so-called diseases of Western civilization. These distinguished authorities detail, for the first time, the pathophysiological consequences and the clinical syndromes, excluding Type 2 diabetes, related to insulin resistance. They also examine the genetic and lifestyle factors that contribute to the wide differences in insulin action that exist in the population at large. Timely and authoritative, Insulin Resistance: The Metabolic Syndrome X illuminates the full importance of insulin resistance as a major cause of hypertension, heart disease, and polycystic ovary syndrome.

| ACSM's Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription
Lowest new price: $26.41
Lowest used price: $0.01
List price: $31.95
Author: American College of Sports Medicine
|
ACSM's Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription began as a concise summary of recommendations for exercise testing and prescription primarily for cardiac patients; it has now become one of the single most internationally read and referenced texts of its kind. This reference is a virtual pharmacopoeia of exercise guidelines in a broad spectrum of patients. In this new edition there is heightened emphasis on preventing illness in apparently healthy persons and those "at risk", as well as treating patients with chronic disease. There are also two new chapters on methods for changing exercise behavior and legal issues.

| Peripheral Arterial Chemoreceptors and Respiratory-Cardiovascular Integration (Monographs of the Physiological Society)
Lowest new price: $288.97
Lowest used price: $8.73
List price: $315.00
Author: M. de Burgh Daly
|
The book describes how changes in respiration can affect the heart and circulation, with particular reference to the control of the two systems by small organs, known as chemoreceptors, which are situated in the neck and chest. These are stimulated when the body is partly deprived of an oxygen supply. Apart from a detailed description of the mechanisms by which the respiratory and circulatory systems are integrated the book also contains chapters which would appeal to those interested in the historical, morphological, medico-legal and clinical aspects of the subject.

| INTRODUCTION TO CARDIOVASCULAR PHYSIOLOGY 2E
Lowest new price: $42.95
Lowest used price: $1.46
List price: $31.95
Author: J R Levick
|
The new edition includes a brief account of major sub-types of ion channels in cardiac and vascular smooth muscle, as well as new sections on intracellular mechanisms of vasodilatation, the role of adhesion molecules in white cell migration in inflammation and mechanisms of action of metabolic vasodilators. A single chapter on cardiac excitation has been split into two updated chapters on the cardiac myocyte and cardiac electrical system, the sections on caardiac and coronary mechanoreceptor reflexes and on decompensated shock have been updated, and completely new accounts of integrated cardiovascular responses to feeding, ageing, systemic hypoxia and high altitude added. This introductory text has been written with the first-year student in mind and assumes no prior knowledge of the subject. As a further aid to the student preparing for examinations, the second edition contains two new features - a summary at the end of every chapter and a detailed set of Learning Objectives, presented as an Appendix. The depth of coverage also makes this edition useful, however, for the more advanced student, research student or Fellowship/Membership candidate seeking a bridge between the general physiology textbook and the more specialised monograph. Although human heart and circulation are emphasized wherever possible, students of general mammalian cardiovascular physiology will also find it a suitable reference.
