Potassium Channels And Their Modulators From Synthesis To Clinical Experience

By John M Evans Copyright 1996

    Potassium ions K+ ions are vital in physiological processes, particularly with regard to the cardiovascular system. Modulators influence the channels through which these ions flow and the research into modulator drugs of these channels is the subject of rapidly-advancing research. This work is intended to be of use as a tool for those working in th
