This uniquely readable, compact, and concise monograph lays a foundation
of knowledge of the underlying concepts of normal cardiovascular
function. Students welcome the book's broad overview as a practical
partner or alternative to a more mechanistically oriented approach or an
encyclopedic physiology text. Especially clear explanations, ample
illustrations, a helpful glossary of terms, tutorials, and
chapter-opening learning objectives provide superb guidance for
self-directed learning and help fill the gap in many of today's
abbreviated physiology blocks.
A focus on well-established
cardiovascular principles reflects recent, widely accepted
cardiovascular research. The supplemental CD-ROM is an interactive,
dynamically linked version of the book, which is organized by normal
cardiovascular function and cardiac disease. Students may begin a path
of questioning with, for example, a disease condition and then pursue
background information through a series of links. Students can also link
to the author's regularly updated Web site for additional clinical
information.
