The substantially revised, updated fifth edition of this well-respected textbook offers all the information needed by students and medical examination candidates, in a clear, logical and well-illustrated manner, with many useful line diagrams and tables that support the text and provide proof of concepts. An Introduction to Cardiovascular Physiology provides a comprehensive but accessible account of cardiovascular physiology, from the fundamentals of how the cardiovascular system works in both health and disease, through to more complex physiological menchanisms and pathways. The Learning Objectives, Overview and Summary sections are helpful for checking understanding.The fifth edition has been thoroughly revised and brought fully up to date, while retaining the successful approach and features of the fourth edition of this popular textbook.
