Cardiovascular System

The Big Picture
It's always the same: When the exciting disease patterns finally arrive in the clinical phase, anatomy and physiology are long forgotten. One has to struggle to review everything in order to understand what the disease is about.
Why not learn an organ system "in one piece": from anatomy to physiology, to the diagnostics and therapy of diseases? This book is ideal for learning in the module; here you will understand the organ system in context. The diseases of the cardiovascular system are systematically addressed-finally, a single book is sufficient to work through the entire topic block.
And it will help you with:

• Practical guidelines for diagnostics and therapy
• Numerous diagnostic images
• Latest findings and therapeutic procedures
• Key phrases, tables, and overviews with the most important facts

Due to its practical relevance, this volume is well-suited for both medical students and doctors in cardiological training and further education.
