Endocrinology of Cardiovascular Function is a fitting inauguration
to the Endocrine Update Series. The aim of these publications is to
provide the clinician with cutting edge, yet succinct, access to
the latest advances in endocrinology. Historically, our
understanding of hormonal disturbances was restricted to the
classical secretory glands and their targets. As Endocrinology of
Cardiovascular Function so aptly indicates, endocrinology is no
longer constrained by our early physiologic understanding of
glandular disorder. Endocrinology of Cardiovascular Function has
set the standard of excellence for the future volumes in this
series. Shlomo Melmed, M.D. Series Editor, Endocrine Update Growth
factors such as IGF-1 play important roles in cardiovascular cell
hypertrophy and the response to acute vascular injury. From another
perspective, traditional endocrine hormones, such as estrogen, have
been found to participate in preventing the development of
atherosclerosis in women, acting through novel mechanisms on target
vascular cells. Other endocrine' hormones, such as PTHRP and
adrenomedullin, also modulate cardiovascular and renovascular
dynamic states, suggesting new roles for these peptides as
vasodilators. This multi-authored text is dedicated to highlighting
emerging and important new information regarding the endocrinology
of the cardiovascular system. Ellis R. Levin, M.D.
