Blood in Motion is a textbook in Cardiovascular Science. It sets out to introduce, entice and explain the cardiovascular system to the reader using a classical system in teaching€anatomy, physiology, general operation and specific systems. It is specifically designed to support the interests of students, experienced physiologists and clinicians. The book is subdivided into three parts, comprising€a total of 11 chapters. Part I presents an historical perspective of cardiovascular knowledge and complements it with current insight into the physiology of the cardiovascular system. Part II explores sections of the circulatory loop, starting with an in-depth treatment of the veins, and including the lymphatic, the microcirculation, the arterial system and the heart. Part III incorporates approaches to the cardiovascular system as a whole, both in physiology and in science, such as modeling. This section introduces impedance-defined flow and offers the reader its application in mathematical modeling. At the end of e

Heart failure is a disease of vast proportions resulting in high morbidity and mortality. The economic impact of this disease is staggering as well, as demonstrated by the 5 million patients with heart failure whose annual outpatient care is approximately $20 billion. This textbook reflects this true collaboration of specialists. It will provide the current understanding of this complex disease, as well as standard and emerging therapies to improve both the quality and quantity of life for our patients. Basic epidemiology, disease prevention, and emerging drug therapies will be reviewed, but importantly it will reflect the much broader spectrum of treatment strategies that now includes surgical and electrophysiologic approaches. The textbook is liberally supplemented with graphic illustrations, clinical observations regarding patient care, and expertise reflecting the team approach to the care of these complex patients, which includes the social, nursing, and ethical aspects of care..

Through a meticulous labor of love, Dr. Hershoff has produced a virtual musculoskeletal textbook for chiropractors and physicians who are pursuing a course of natural health care for their patients. The heart of his book, the first of its kind, addresses the homeopathic solutions for musculoskeletal complaints commonly seen in our offices and commonly experienced by many people in the course of their lives. As he focuses our attention on the musculoskeletal keynotes and affinities of the homeopathic materia medica, easy to read illustrations and charts help us reach the homeopathic cure, (or similimum) for many acute and chronic conditions. This book has the potential to relieve much human suffering.

The Atlas of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography includes photomicrographs, anatomic illustrations, tables, and charts paired with extensive legends and explanations, supplemented by extensive research, peer-reviewed articles, and textbooks. In addition to providing historical perspective and current directions for computed tomography, the atlas focuses on research involving coronary artery diseases and anomalies, congestive heart failure, atherosclerotic plaques and asymptomatic disease, as well as imaging techniques, including preparation, acquisition, and processing, involving the great vessels and carotids, the peripheral vasculature, and coronary and pulmonary veins. Also included is discussion of the role of computed tomography in the emergency room and in private cardiology practice.

High-Yield™ Heart is the second in a series of High-Yield™ Systems books by a best-selling medical textbook author that cover the basic sciences of the medical school curriculum using a systems-based approach. This approach helps students integrate their first two years' course material and offers excellent preparation for USMLE Step 1 and clinical rotations. Chapters cover each basic science—embryology, gross anatomy, radiology, histology, physiology, pathology, microbiology, and pharmacology—as it relates to the heart and cardiovascular system. The book is replete with radiographs, CT and MRI scans, and micrographs of normal tissue and pathologic conditions. Sections of the book are tabbed for easy reference.
