This state-of-the-art book concentrates in one volume our current knowledge on the cardiovascular complications of liver disease. This easy-to-read work provides a better understanding of the pathogenesis and consequences of portal hypertension and establishes a physiological basis for its pharmacological treatment. It examines the effect of liver disease on volume regulation, the activity of the sympathetic nervous system, and the processes involved in capillary fluid exchange. It includes a discussion on volume and sodium regulation, as well as atrial natriuretic peptide. It also covers the effects of different classes of drugs such as alcohol, sympathomimetics, diuretics, and hormones on the cardiovascular system in liver disease. This reference manual is an absolute must for all clinicians and researchers with an interest in the cardiovascular system in liver disease.

The clinical practice of anesthesia has undergone many advances in the past few years, making this the perfect time for a new state-of-the-art anesthesia textbook for practitioners and trainees. The goal of this book is to provide a modern, clinically focused textbook giving rapid access to comprehensive, succinct knowledge from experts in the field. All clinical topics of relevance to anesthesiology are organized into 29 sections consisting of more than 180 chapters. The print version contains 166 chapters that cover all of the essential clinical topics, while an additional 17 chapters on subjects of interest to the more advanced practitioner can be freely accessed at www.cambridge.org/vacanti. Newer techniques such as ultrasound nerve blocks, robotic surgery and transesophageal echocardiography are included, and numerous illustrations and tables assist the reader in rapidly assimilating key information. This authoritative text is edited by distinguished Harvard Medical School faculty, with contributors from many of the leading academic anesthesiology departments in the United States and an introduction from Dr S. R. Mallampati. This book is your essential companion when preparing for board review and recertification exams and in your daily clinical practice.

The kidneys play a central role in cardiovascular homeostasis by ensuring a balance between the fluid taken in and that lost and excreted during everyday activities. This ensures stability of extracellular fluid volume and maintenance of normal levels of blood pressure. Renal fluid handling is controlled via neural and humoral influences, with the former determining a rapid dynamic response to changing intake of sodium whereas the latter cause a slower longer-term modulation of sodium and water handling. Activity in the renal sympathetic nerves arises from an integration of information from the high and low pressure cardiovascular baroreceptors, the somatosensory and visceral systems as well as the higher cortical centers. Each sensory system provides varying input to the autonomic centers of the hypothalamic and medullary areas of the brain at a level appropriate to the activity being performed. In pathophysiological states, such as hypertension, heart failure and chronic renal disease, there may be an inappropriate sympathoexcitation causing sodium retention which exacerbates the disease process. The contribution of the renal sympathetic nerves to these cardiovascular diseases is beginning to be appreciated with the demonstration that renal denervation of resistant hypertensive patients results in a long-term normalization of blood pressure.

In the liver, nutrients taken up from food are utilized for the synthesis of different components of the body, and the waste matter and harmful substances produced are disposed or detoxicated. These functions of the liver must be regulated in accordance with the state of the body. The nervous system plays this regulatory role, one which is reminiscent of the production management system in a factory.
