Overview

Focusing on the interaction between heart and the vascular system, this text provides a synthesis of information on cardiac dysfunction, vascular modification of cardiac function, and cardiac-vascular remodelling. Among the topics covered are: vascular-ventricular interference and remodelling; right-left ventricular interaction; systolic-diastolic interaction; ventricular-endocardial interaction; and coronary circulation-ventricular interaction.
