Overview

Devoted to the pathophysiology of the microcirculation, an intensely-studied area of the circulatory system, this text begins with an introduction to the general structure of the normal microvascular system, with special emphasis on the characteristics of blood vessel segments collectively comprising the system. Topics covered include angiogenesis, neoplasias, ischemia/reperfusion, diabetes, immunologic injury and thermal injury. The text also covers the effects of ageing and environmental factors on the microcirculation.
