Cardiac Pharmacology aims to interface basic and clinical knowledge of those interventions used or being studied for use in the treatment of heart disease. The book is divided into four major sections which address intrinsic and neural control of cardiac function, pharmacologic modification of cardiac contractility and cardiac output, the genesis and control of cardiac arrhythmias, and pharmacologic manipulation of myocardial oxygen supply and demand. The last three sections contain a chapter describing the techniques employed in the study of that particular aspect of cardiac function and its alterations by pharmacologic interventions. Cardiologists, pharmacologists, physiologists, and those interested in the area of cardiovascular medicine will find the book insightful.

Cardiac Drugs is the latest edition of this comprehensive resource, completely revised to provide up-to-date information on the rapidly evolving field of cardiovascular drugs. The book is divided into thirteen chapters, focusing on cardiovascular comorbid conditions, with extensive coverage of cardiovascular disease management in patients with co-existing diabetes, dysmetabolic syndrome and pregnancy. The first two chapters cover vasodilators and neurohormone modulators, and positive inotropic drugs, and subsequent chapters cover drugs for specific conditions including dyslipidemia, dysrhythmia, stable angina, and pulmonary hypertension. The final chapter ‘Future Direction – Pharmacogenomics’ provides insight into the exploration of the human genome for opportunities to improve therapeutic precision in cardiovascular medicine. This new edition of Cardiac Drugs also incorporates the latest JNC 8 (Joint National Committee) guidelines on hypertension, highlighting their key differences to previous guidelines. Enhanced by 80 full colour illustrations and tables, and written by US based experts in cardiovascular pharmacology, Cardiac Drugs is an invaluable resource for cardiologists and pharmacologists.

Pharmacological Control of Heart and Circulation, Volume 1, documents the proceedings of the 3rd Congress of the Hungarian Pharmacological Society held in Budapest, 1979. Because the papers published in this volume cover diverse areas of the cardiovascular field, they had to be arranged into several smaller symposia. The common thread running through these symposia is their focus on some pathological condition of the heart and circulation as well as on their control by drugs. The first symposium is devoted to the pharmacological control of the adverse effects of coronary insufficiency including disturbances in rhythm. The second symposium is dedicated to cardiac hypertrophy; to the action of cardiac hypertrophy on the sensitivity of the heart to drugs; and to the changes in the biochemical parameters of the myocardium due to cardiomegaly. The third symposium deals with hypertension and its pharmacological control. Two separate symposia are devoted to new drugs, namely the fourth symposium to the cerebrovascular activity of Cavinton—a synthetic Vinca-derivative; and the fifth to a newly developed beta-adrenergic blocking agent, Tobanum, to its anti-arrhythmic action, its effect in myocardial ischemia and in hypertension. Finally, a short symposium on serotonin and serotonin antagonists, both of great importance in cardiovascular pharmacology, is included.
