The ATP-sensitive potassium channel (KATP) was discovered in 1983. Since then, research has been undertaken to characterize it in detail. This volume consolidates both the current knowledge and most recent advances on the subject, and its relationship to myocardial protection. The book should be of interest to clinicians and basic scientists who have a direct interest in the KATP channel, as well as those groups who are interested in the entire concept of myocardial protection and its relationship to academic and clinical medicine.
