Practical Cardiovascular Hemodynamics also includes case-based and tracingbased self-assessment problems. e reader will learn to identify disease states and waveform subtleties from single tracings or from case studies and will increase skills in interpreting tracings, understanding notches and artifacts, and formulating a diagnosis.
Practical Cardiovascular Hemodynamics Features:
- Complete presentation of basic and advanced hemodynamics
- Numerous case studies allow the reader to learn real-life application of hemodynamic data in clinical decision making
- Questions and explanations provides the reader with self-assessment and problem-solving skills
- 325 illustrations and 25 tables with detailed legends allowing for illustrated learning
