This volume is dedicated to the integrative focus on molecular-cellular-tissue-organ function and dysfunction; it has taken a primary role in modern, personalized medicine, and it is envisaged to continue to do so, as accumulated knowledge from basic and clinical science work continues to elucidate molecular, cellular, and physiological/pathophysiological pathways and mechanisms.

This textbook combines pulmonary and cardiac physiology and pathophysiology with clinical aspects of the disease. The textbook addresses the following topics: structure and function of the normal pulmonary vasculature; disregulated cellular pathways seen in experimental and human pulmonary hypertension; clinical aspects of pulmonary hypertension in general; presentation of several specific forms of pulmonary hypertension, and management of pulmonary hypertension in special circumstances.
