About this book

Resistance arteries have been recognized for some time as key factors in the regulation of vascular flow resistance, where they determine the regional and local distribution of blood and arterial pressure. Chapters provide an overview of the physiological, biochemical, and electrophysiological characteristics of these vessels, as well as a critical evaluation of the methodologies for studying small arteries and an examination of the membrane and neural mechanisms involved in the control of vascular tone.

Reviews

...the first book to be entirely devoted to the subject...edited by three world renowned authors...will serve as an excellent introductory text to all researchers entering into this field and will provide a source of reference for more experienced researchers. - International Journal of Cardiology
