Description
This clinically focused, single volume text is extensively illustrated in colour. It is concise yet comprehensive and is designed to meet the needs of those studying for the Pulmonary Disease Board exams. Each chapter is written by an expert in the field and presents an international perspective of the subject. The first section covers examination of the patient, what signs and symptoms to look for and how to make the best use of modern assessment techniques. Crucial to this section is an outstanding and highly illustrated imaging chapter. The second section is disease based and covers the wide spectrum of cases seen in clinical practice. The consistent structure, integration of the basic science, fantastic artwork program, accessibility of the text and clinical focus of this book make it a must for all trainee and practising specialists in Respiratory Medicine.
