Description
Heart Physiology and Pathophysiology, 4E, provides the foundation for the scientific understanding of heart function
and dysfunction, and bridges the gap between basic cardiovascular science and clinical cardiology. This comprehensive text covers all
the important aspects of the heart and vascular system. The most important and relevant disorders are presented, with emphasis on the
mechanisms involved.
The first three editions of this book developed a reputation as the leading reference in cardiovascular science
for researchers and academic cardiologists. This recent edition has been updated, expanded, and includes a number of new contributors.
It has also been remodeled to expand its usage as a text reference for cardiology residents, practicing cardiologists, and graduate students.
