- Summary:
- With a new design and a revamped art program, this focused overview on the key concepts of the cardiovascular system stresses comprehension of fundamental concepts over memorization. The text reinforces key points by applying basic physiologic principles to various clinical situations involving the cardiovascular system. Study questions with annotated answers are included throughout the text. 80 illustrations.
