Cover of Toshio Nishikimi: Adrenomedullin in Cardiovascular Disease (PDF)

Adrenomedullin was discovered in 1993 in an extract of human pheochromocytoma while monitoring c AMP levels in rat platelets. Adrenomedullin has attracted considerable interest among cardiologists due to its impact on the cardiovascular system which includes a decrease in blood pressure in vivo; an impact on vascular smooth muscle cells; increases c AMP levels; indirectly reduces blood pressure and has role in the pathogenesis of arteriosclerosis.

Adrenomedullin in Cardiovascular Disease is an up-to-date review of the most relevant aspects of adrenomedullin. It encompasses a broad range of fields including biochemistry, molecular biology, physiology, pharmacology, pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease and clinical applications of adrenomedullin to cardiovascular disease.
