Assisted Circulation 3
is an authoritative review of the progress which has been achieved in the last 5 years since the appearance of
Assisted Circulation 2
in 1984. The present book highlights the work of well-known experts on - new indications for assisted circulation, - cardiac assist devices as bridges toward transplantation, - temporary mechanical heart support, - results of long term studies into problems of tissue overgrowth, infection, and physiological regulation of cardiac devices, and - new results on cardiac transplantation and the new immunsuppresive regima.
Assisted Circulation 3
is the latest product of an ongoing effort by the editors to keep readers abreast of recent advances in the field on a regular basis.
