The kidney, similar to the heart, plays a three-fold role in essential hypertension.

In Harch of 1980, we organized the first symposium on how to evaluate new antiarrhythmic agents in which the participants included members of the Cardio-Renal Division of the Food and Drug Administration, academic investigators from the United States and Abroad and directors and imple- mentors of pharmacological research representing the pharmaceutical industry.

Cardiac therapy has become ever more complex during the past quarter century.

The aim of the 2nd Course of the International School of Cardi- ology at "e;Ettore Majorana"e; was the discussion, scientific analysis, and critical appraisal of primary and secondary prevention in cardi- ology, especially concerning the coronary artery disease.

In the 1980's a primary focus for intense cardiovascular research is in the treatment of patients with acute myocardial infarction.

The concepts of acute coronary care are changing so rapidly that it is appropriate that the volume ACUTE CORONARY CARE: PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE, published early in 1985, would have yearly updates.

This volume represents a part of the scientific proceedings of the Sixth Annual Meeting of the American Section of the International Society for Heart Research that was held in Oklahoma City from September 13-15, 1984.

The pulmonary vessels reflect in their structure the stresses to which they are subjected.

The participation of endothelial cells in various physiologic and pathologic processes has been hypothesized since before the turn of the century.

Although the remarks that follow are based can be induced in a completely healthy heart by a relatively minor perturbation, on my reading not of the volume itself, but on my reading of the table of contents and namely, an electrical stimulus delivered in the vulnerable period.

Responsibility for the diagnosis and management of disorders of the pulmonary circulation has become the shared domain of the pulmonologist, cardiologist, surgeon, radiologist, pathologist, and, perhaps most important of all, the internist.

Cardiac Valve Replacement: Current Status is the proceedings of the Fourth Interna- tional Symposium on the ST.

In the evaluation of patients who have or are suspected indebted to these contributors.

Because the increasing complexities of diagnos- testing and training, for example) are of neces- ing and treating coronary artery disease are at sity discussed in more than one chapter with times overwhelming for many physicians, the appropriate cross referencing.

It has been known or suspected for centuries that there is an association between mind and emotions and the occurrence of heart disease apd sudden death.

A recent comprehensive study of stress and human health by the Institute of Medicine/National Academy of Sciences concludes that individuals who experience any of a wide range of stressful events or situations are at increased risk of developing a physical or mental disorder, including heart disease.

In summary, there are many animal models that are useful in selecting new antiarrhythmic drugs.

These Proceedings are from the Fifth Annual Meeting of the American Section of the International Society for Heart Research held at Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, September 21-24, 1983.

Heart disease, despite recent improvements, continues to be the single most im- portant cause of death and disability in the United States.

During the 25 years since acute coronary care was focused into Coronary Care Units there have been three major Phases: I.

In 1628 William Harvey published his discovery of the existence of the microcirculation which he deduced from careful anatomical and physiological study.

The first two "e;Brain Heart Conferences"e; in Jerusalem in 1978 and 1983 were based upon the common interests of clinically orientated neurologists and cardiologists in the problems of centr'al autonomic control and autonomic disturbances of the cardiovascular system.

The field of electrocardiography is at a cross- roads.

Over the past 25 years, the growing impor- cardiovascular.

Attention to reducing the major risk factors Contemporary coronary care involves a associated with the development of arterio- multitude of measures: efforts to prevent the sclerosis has been widespread and appears to acute event; thrombolytic therapy to abort have lowered the incidence of coronary artery infarction; pharmacological measures to delay disease.

It is quite natural that literature related to car- heart disease, cardiomyopathy, pulmonary and diac structure, function, pathology, and patho- pulmonary vascular disease, trauma, acquired valvular disease, congenital disease, and surgi- physiology has emphasized the left heart and systemic circulation.

To accomplish these objectives, the book is Body surface electrocardiographic mapping is not a new technique.

Some 25 years ago, the coronary care unit concentrated high technology and the acutely ill patients who might benefit from it in a single, recognizable space.

The field of catheter ablation has grown In a rather helter-skelter fashion.

This symposium is devoted to Biotechnology in Blood Transfusion; there are 22 experts discussing the state of the art in the application of monoclonal anti- bodies, recombinant DNA technologies and heterologous expression systems to the improvement and sometimes replacement of blood products, charac- terization of blood constituents, and the effect of these developments on blood transfusion procedures.
