内容説明

The Cardiovascular System At a Glance combines the concise style of the 'At a Glance' series with a systemic approach in line with the new teaching programs now in place at most medical schools around the world. The text progresses from basic science to clinical application: a general introduction to the cardiovascular system is followed by anatomy and histology; blood and body fluids; biochemistry and excitation-contraction coupling; form and function; integration and regulation; pathology and therapeutics; and case studies. The five authors, from St Thomas' and Guy's (London) and John Hopkins (Baltimore), have between them more than 40 years' experience in teaching the cardiovascular system, and have all been instrumental in the move from subject- to system-based learning at their medical schools. This book will be of interest to medical students at all levels and to students of other health professions needing an introduction to the cardiovascular system.
