Description

Clinical assessment and interpretation of the arterial pulse says much about the patient's condition. This source brings together all of the implications of this essential aspect of comprehensive examination. Recent advances in electronic technology have made it easier than ever to accurately, and non-invasively, assess the arterial pulse. Dr O'Rourke demonstrates how to use these techniques to monitor the effects of drug therapies, especially agents used to treat hypertension. In addition, the book explains how arterial pulse assessment can indicate whether a patient's shock is due to vasodilation or vasoconstriction.
