Comprehensive and clinically relevant, this monograph provides an authoritative summary of how catecholamines regulate bodily functions in health and in disease, and how this knowledge has spawned an extensive pharmacopeia of widely used drugs. Renowned researcher and educator Dr. Lewis Landsberg offers solid information and guidance on these complex hormones, brought together in a single-source reference that helps both students and clinicians fully understand catecholamines and the sympathoadrenal system.
