In a fully revised edition with increased clinical emphasis, this long-established work links haemodynamics, physiology and cardiovascular medicine to explain new investigative approaches, monitoring techniques and therapies for diseases of the heart and arteries. The first edition of this book, published in 1960, established a new analytical approach to the study of pulsatile phenomena in arteries. The second updated the material, but this third edition is necessarily the most extensive, with contributions from a number of specialists on such topics as disturbed flow, ultrasonic flow measurement, and cardiac function.
