Airways and Vascular Remodelling in Asthma and Cardiovascular Disease Implications for Therapeutic Intervention Based on the Scientific Program,

Vascular diseases and asthma are two common diseases associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. Both are chronic, each has an inflammatory component, both are accompanied by remodelling of hollow tubes and both are amenable to early intervention. Those working in the area of cardiovascular diseases have already made significant advances in terms of understanding the pathophysiology and the need to conduct large scale multicentre trials to address simple but pivotal questions about altering outcomes. Those who work in the respiratory field have perhaps lagged behind. This book brings together basic scientists and clinicians from both research fields to compare and contrast the research progress made in each area, and see what lessons can thus be learned.Page, Clive is the author of 'Airways and Vascular Remodelling in Asthma and Cardiovascular Disease Implications for Therapeutic Intervention Based on the Scientific Program,' with ISBN 9780125435406 and ISBN 0125435401.
