Description
Focusing on clinical decision making, this new reference provides current, comprehensive coverage of the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and
treatment of pulmonary hypertension and vasculitis, as well as other related health issues. A structured diagnostic approach enables
you to determine underlying etiology, then guides you to appropriate pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic therapeutic options, based upon
their potential risks and benefits. Over 400 illustrations depict variations of pulmonary hypertension that are essential for successful
identification and optimal management outcomes.
