From the book reviews:
“This is a review of hemodynamics in cardiovascular medicine. … It is intended mainly for frontline cardiologists and critical care providers, including general cardiology fellows, interventional cardiology fellows, critical care fellows, general cardiologists and critical care intensivists. The board style-questions and clinical vignettes make the book useful as a supplemental source for board examination preparation. … It is an excellent book that I highly recommend for anyone interested in learning more about hemodynamics.” (Mohi Alkadri, Doody’s Book Reviews, April, 2013)
