Riassunto

This book is written to help clinical and basic researchers, as well as graduate students, in the understanding of hemodynamics. Recent developments in genetics and molecular biology as well as new non-invasive measurement techniques, make it possible to measure and understand the hemodynamics of heart and vessels better than ever before. Hemodynamics make it possible to characterize, in a quantitative way, the function of the heart and the arterial system, thereby producing information about what genetic and molecular processes are of importance for cardiovascular function. The layout of the book provides a short and essential overview of individual topics. It is designed as a quick reference guide and each chapter can stand alone. The chapters are written to define the basic and applied principles of the hemodynamic topic. If more details or broader perspectives are desired, the reader can refer to related chapters to which the text refers, or the textbooks listed in the 'Reference books' section in Appendix 5. Each chapter starts with a 'box' containing a figure and caption that give the basic aspects of each topic. Chapters end with the section, 'Physiological and Clinical Relevance' that puts the information from the chapter into perspective. The section in between, 'Description' can be used to get more detailed information and find relevant references.

Recensione:

From the reviews of the second edition:

“This is a quick reference on the concepts of hemodynamics and their clinical relevance. ... The book is written for students and research personnel who seek a conceptual understanding of cardiovascular hemodynamics. Concise chapters with simplified diagrams and graphs provide clear descriptions of the principles of hemodynamics. ... A reference list ends each chapter. This well-written reference meets the needs of its audience. The authors have effectively presented a complex subject in a concise book, in an easy to understand, user-friendly format.” (Dharmendrakumar A. Patel, Doody’s Review Service, December, 2010)

Dalla quarta di copertina:

Hemodynamics make it possible to characterize in a quantitative way, the function of the heart and arterial system, thereby producing information about which genetic and molecular processes, and which abnormalities, are of importance for understanding cardiovascular mechanisms in health and disease. Snapshots of Hemodynamics: An Aid for Clinical Research and Graduate Education, Second Edition by Nico Westerhof, Nikos Stergiopulos and Mark I.M. Noble is a quick reference guide designed to help basic and clinical researchers as well as graduate students to understand hemodynamics. The layout of the book provides short and independent chapters with teaching diagrams as well as clear descriptions of the essentials of basic and applied principles of hemodynamics. References are provided at the end of each chapter for further reading and reference. Nico Westerhof, PhD is affiliated with the Laboratory for Physiology at VU University Medical Center in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Nikos Stergiopulos, PhD is affiliated with the Laboratory of Hemodynamics and Cardiovascular Technology at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, Switzerland. Mark IM Noble, DSc, MD, PhD is affiliated with Cardiovascular Medicine at Aberdeen University, Aberdeen Royal Infirmary in Aberdeen Scotland.
