This book provides an accessible introduction to how the cardiovascular system works in health and disease, offering 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 concept.
A sound knowledge of cardiovascular physiology is fundamental to understanding cardiovascular disease, exercise performance, and many other aspects of human physiology.
Cardiovascular physiology is a major component of all undergraduate courses in physiology, biomedical science, and medicine. This popular introduction to the subject is intended primarily for these students.
A key feature of this sixth edition is how state-of-the-art technology is applied to understanding cardiovascular function in health and disease. Thus, the text is also well suited to graduate study programmes in medicine and physiological sciences.
Levick's Introduction to Cardiovascular Physiology by Neil Herring and David J. Paterson offers a comprehensive and engaging overview, making it an indispensable resource for both undergraduate and graduate students.
