Cardiovascular Physiology, 9th Edition, is a medical textbook that presents the fundamental operating principles of the intact cardiovascular system and demonstrates how those principles apply to clinical medicine.
The volume covers cardiac muscle cell mechanics, heart pump performance, vascular control, and hemodynamic interactions. It also details short-term and long-term regulation of arterial pressure along with cardiovascular adaptations to physiological stresses such as exercise, respiration, and gravity.
Intended for coursework, review for the USMLE Step 1 examination, and refresher study for experienced clinicians, this ninth edition was recognized as a Doody's Core Title for 2021.
