Hypoxia and the Circulation

Zusatztext

Just one of a series of volumes on differing aspects of hypoxia, this authoritative text focuses on cutting-edge research at the interface of hypoxia and biomedicine. Hypoxia - or lack of oxygen - is a constant threat to the human body and its vital organs, one that can take its toll in a number of situations. There are many situations in which the threat is heightened in health and disease, but mechanisms have evolved to lessen its detrimental effects. The International Hypoxia Symposia was founded to enable scientists, clinicians, physiologists, immunologists, mountaineers and other interested individuals to share their experiences of the situations associated with the lack of oxygen and the adaptations that allow us to survive. The mission of the International Hypoxia Symposia is to present up-to-the-minute, sophisticated research at the very highest levels into the many effects of hypoxia on humans and animals in health and disease.
