Product Description
This classic text, first published in 1960 and introducing at that time an entirely new approach to the study of arterial hemodynamics, provides a theoretical basis to understanding blood flow in normal disease conditions. It examines the relationship between pulsatile pressure and flow in the arteries using a mathematical model of fluid flow principles. The current authors have developed the ground-breaking work of Donald McDonald through three editions during a period in which arterial disease has exploded as a huge clinical problem in the developed and developing world, and the content now reflects the application of the original hemodynamic discoveries to everyday clinical practice. The new edition retains the features key to the popularity of the earlier volumes - a strong scientific base, a focus on practical applications, a comprehensive coordinated style and a lack of fear in challenging established authority - but brings the content entirely up to date.

Simply amazing...and probably over your head April 13, 2007

This book is an amazing reference. It is a hardcore scientific look at the flow of blood through arteries. It's about time this edition was released, because the last edition is more than ten years old. The book is separated into chapters that are really monographs on their respective subjects. The authors do an excellent job of giving a bird's eye view of each topic and then go into far more detail than most people will be able to understand (myself included). But don't let that scare you away from the book. Even if you don't understand all the physics and thermodynamics, you can still grasp the principles.
If you have read any of the authors' journal articles, you know that their view of arterial bloodflow is much deeper than the mainstream medical community. This book explains the prevailing thought and then shows the shortcomings of conventional wisdom and presents the research that leads to a deeper understanding. Please do not think that this makes the book controversial. It is simply that most education on vascular physiology is nowhere near this deep or comprehensive. This is not truly a textbook. It is the ultimate reference for arterial bloodflow. Every serious student of the heart or vascular physiology should have this book in their library, and every researcher should have it on their shelf.
