Los diferentes capítulos de este libro han sido escritos por científicos participantes en la II Reunión Internacional que, en mayo de 1993, se celebró en la Universidad de Cantabria, donde se presentaron trabajos de síntesis sobre el estado de las investigaciones sobre patología cardiovascular, digestiva, etc. y las nuevas posibilidades que se abren para los fármacos nitrovasodilatadores.
Global collaboration is the cornerstone of scientific advancement. Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine have organized a series of special edition Research Topics, with the goal of highlighting the latest advancements in Cardiovascular Medicine across the globe, showcasing the academic excellence and high-quality work of internationally recognized researchers.
Pregnancy is a physiologically stressful condition that generates a series of functional adaptations in the cardiovascular system. The impact of pregnancy on this system persists from conception beyond birth. Recent evidence suggests that vascular changes associated with pregnancy complications, such as preeclampsia; gestational diabetes; growth restriction; autoimmune diseases; among others, affect the function of the maternal and offspring vascular systems, after delivery and may be extended until adult life. Since the vascular system contributes to systemic homeostasis, defective development or function of blood vessels predisposes both mother and infant to future risk for chronic disease...
Pharmacology is a rapidly progressing area of biomedical research, with new developments surfacing at regular intervals, constantly revolutionizing drug therapy for disease states.

A far-reaching cultural transformation is occurring across much of the West that is threatening the very foundations of democracy. Individuals are no longer judged by their deeds, actions, and behavior but rather are defined by their race, ethnicity, and sexual orientation. Driven largely by the political Left, this transformation has led to the wholesale division of individuals into oppressed and oppressor classes. Where the Left once organized around liberal principles to ensure that all groups had an equal seat at the proverbial table, much of the Left today demands not only that those categorized as oppressed receive priority seating, but also that those categorized as oppressor are excl...
