The book serves as a comprehensive reference on the role of the endothelium in cardiovascular control, highlighting its dual ability to induce relaxation and secretion of vasoconstrictor substances. Since the landmark discovery in 1980, research has uncovered the endothelium's crucial function in monitoring blood properties and its involvement in cardiovascular diseases. This monograph aims to guide both basic scientists and practitioners by compiling essential knowledge and insights into endothelium-dependent responses, emphasizing their significance in understanding cardiovascular health.
