Description and Table of Contents
Description
This text provides a theoretical basis to understanding blood flow in normal and disease conditions. It examines the relationship between pulsatile pressure and flow in the arteries using a mathematical model of fluid flow principles. It contains new clinical chapters on aging, hypertension, atherosclerosis, specific arterial disease, exercise and arterial tonometry.
