Overview

Details the importance of hypoxia in the expression, genesis and propagation of human illness. The text summarizes knowledge of responses to hypoxia in a variety of organ systems and in a number of vital processes common to all systems, addressing the effect of oxygen deprivation on fundamental processes such as cellular energetics, ion transport and receptor function. It examines the effect of oxygen deprivation on the brain, heart and lung, as well as peripheral systems.
