The Heart and Circulation-2판(Hardcover)

Description:

This extensively revised second edition traces the development of the basic concepts in cardiovascular physiology in
light of the accumulated experimental and clinical evidence. It considers the early embryonic circulation, where blood
circulation suggests the existence of a motive force, tightly coupled to the metabolic demands of the tissues.
It proposes that rather than being an organ of propulsion, the heart, serves as an organ of control, generating
pressure
by rhythmically impeding blood flow. New and expanded chapters cover the arterial pulse, circulation in the upright
posture, microcirculation and functional heart morphology.
Heart and Circulation offers a new perspective for deeper understanding of the human cardiovascular system. It is
therefore a thought-provoking resource for cardiologists, cardiac surgeons and trainees interested in models of human
circulation.
