Foreword I In 2014, the British Heart Foundation (BHF) was pleased to award the Institute of Cardiovascular and Medical Sciences a prestigious Research Excellence award to advance their science in vascular biology and medicine. Not only has the award supported new discoveries in vascular biomedicine, but it has provided outstanding training opportunities for the next generation of cardiovascular researchers and clinician scientists. While not our expectation, I am delighted that the award has been instrumental in the birth of this excellent Textbook on Vascular Medicine. The editors are to be applauded for bringing together a group of experts from the Glasgow BHF Centre of Research Excellence, as well as international authorities,
on vascular biology and medicine that has resulted in this comprehensive, informative, and up-to-date book. The vast range of topics covering not only the anatomy, cell biology, physiology, and pharmacology of the vessel wall but also some of the key regulators, all written in succinct and well-organized chapters, makes the book user-friendly and a pleasure to read. Given the central importance of vascular dysfunction to many heart and circulato
