Clinical Hemorheology and Microcirculation, a peer-reviewed international scientific journal, serves as an aid to understanding the flow properties of blood and the relationship to normal and abnormal physiology. The rapidly expanding science of hemorheology concerns blood, its components and the blood vessels with which blood interacts. It includes perihemorheology, i.e., the rheology of fluid and structures in the perivascular and interstitial spaces as well as the lymphatic system. The clinical aspects include pathogenesis, symptomatology and diagnostic methods, and the fields of prophylaxis and therapy in all branches of medicine and surgery, pharmacology and drug research.

The endeavour of the Editors-in-Chief and publishers of Clinical Hemorheology and Microcirculation is to bring together contributions from those working in various fields related to blood flow all over the world. The editors of Clinical Hemorheology and Microcirculation are from those countries in Europe, Asia, Australia and America where appreciable work in clinical hemorheology and microcirculation is being carried out. Each editor takes responsibility to decide on the acceptance of a manuscript. He is required to have the manuscript appraised by two referees and may be one of them himself. The executive editorial office, to which the manuscripts have been submitted, is responsible for rapid handling of the reviewing process.

Clinical Hemorheology and Microcirculation accepts original papers, brief communications, mini-reports and letters to the Editors-in-Chief. Review articles, providing general views and new insights into related subjects, are regularly invited by the Editors-in-Chief. Proceedings of international and national conferences on clinical hemorheology (in original form or as abstracts) complete the range of editorial features.

The following professionals and institutions will benefit most from subscribing to Clinical Hemorheology and Microcirculation: medical practitioners in all fields including hematology, cardiology, geriatrics, angiology, surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, ophthalmology, otology, and neurology. Pharmacologists, clinical laboratories, blood transfusion centres, manufacturing firms producing diagnostic instruments, and the pharmaceutical industry will also benefit.

Important new topics will increasingly claim more pages of Clinical Hemorheology and Microcirculation: the role of hemorheological and microcirculatory disturbances for epidemiology and prognosis, in particular regarding cardiovascular disorders, as well as its significance in the field of geriatrics. Authors and readers are invited to contact the editors for specific information or to make suggestions.

Beta 3-adrenoceptors in the cardiovascular system

Authors: Gauthier, Chantal | Sèze-Goismier, Camille | Rozec, Bertrand

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: The sympathetic system is central in the understanding of numerous physiological and physiopathological phenomena. During the last decade, the characterization of a new β-adrenoceptor subtype, β3 , in addition to β1 and β2 -adrenoceptor in the cardiovascular system has changed the view of the roles of the sympathetic system. In heart, β3 -adrenoceptor stimulation produce an opposite effect to that induced by β1 and β2 -adrenoceptors suggesting that in normal heart, the negative inotropic effect induced by the β3 -adrenergic stimulation might play a role of a “safety-valve” during intense adrenergic stimulation. In vessels, all β-adrenoceptors subtypes, β1 … Show more

Confocal myography for the study of hypertensive vascular remodelling

Authors: Arribas, Silvia M. | González, José M. | Briones, Ana M. | Somoza, Beatriz | Daly, Craig J. | Vila, Elisabet | González, M. Carmen | McGrath, John C.

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: Hypertension is associated with vascular structural alterations known as “vascular remodelling”, which initially are adaptive but in the long run, lead to vascular damage and loss of function. Despite decades of study, there is still modest information on the 3-dimensional (3D) arrangement of vascular cells and extracellular matrix (ECM) and how they change under pathological situations. To address this problem we developed a technique which combines fluorescence confocal microscopy, pressure myography and image analysis, “confocal myography”, which permits the study of intact resistance-sized vessels at cellular level and at physiological pressure. With the aid of this method, we have identified, … Show more
