Clinical Pathophysiology of Hypertension, Diabetes, and Other Stress and Lifestyle Associated Diseases

1. Introduction to Stress Related Diseases

2. Molecular Pathophysiology

3. Pulmonary Insufficiency, Smoking and Lung Cancer

4. Pathophysiology of Diabetes and Vascular Inflammation

5. Pathophysiology of the Kidney and Interrelated Diseases

6. Cardiovascular System and its Central and Local Autoregulation

Clinical Pathophysiology of Hypertension, Diabetes, and Other Stress and Lifestyle Associated Diseases presents mathematical and physical basis to apply in practice for a better understanding of some common and not so common diseases brough on by stress and lifestyle. Chapters cover new findings in hypertension, arrhythmias, diabetes, nephropathy, and periodontal disease. Written by Dr. Tetsuya Watanabe, President of Watanabe Institute of Mathematical Biology and Watanabe Clinic of Oral Surgery in Hamamatsu, Japan, for clinical doctors, medical research doctors, pathophysiological scientists, pharmaceutical scientists, and biologists and physicists in bioengineering.

• Includes new findings in hypertension, diabetes and related diseases
• Explains electrophysical events, mechanical properties of the heart and vaculature, hydrostatic and osmotic pressure across the membrane, and glomerular filtration rate
• Presents pathological case studies
