| Summary |
Explores the functioning cardiovascular system from an integrative viewpoint. Includes both historical developments and recent findings on the diverse aspects of cardiovascular function. Provides a conceptual framework for understanding cardiovascular function in health, as well as analysis of altered cardiovascular control during illness or under various physical and environmental conditions. Topics are presented from a basic science perspective with relevant implactions for clinical and applied settings offered |
