Levick's Introduction to Cardiovascular Physiology

Levick's Introduction to Cardiovascular Physiology, 6th Edition, provides an introduction to the physiological principles governing the circulatory system. The textbook examines cardiovascular function in both health and disease, highlighting how state-of-the-art technology contributes to modern physiological understanding.

Coverage encompasses the mechanics of cardiac myocyte excitation and contraction, stroke volume control, and electrocardiography with arrhythmias. The text also explains fundamental hemodynamics, including blood flow, vascular resistance, and pressure regulation.

Designed primarily for undergraduate students studying medicine, physiology, and biomedical science, this work also suits graduate programs in physiological sciences. Free online digital resources offer additional support for lectures, revision, and independent study.
