This textbook presents essential cardiopulmonary concepts in a well organized, clearly stated format. The concepts are further clarified with detailed illustrations, tables and examples of mathematical calculations. Clinical Connections throughout the chapters challenge students to apply their new knowledge and help them envision the clinical usefulness of these (sometimes difficult) concepts.
