Overview
John Li applies powerful new developments in biorheological analysis, experimental validation, and clinical assessment to the fluid dynamics of arterial circulation, laying the foundation for effective experimental and clinical applications. Using quantitative methods extensively, Dr. Li illuminates the physiology and rheology of arteries, the fundamental theories and modeling of the arterial system, blood pressure and flow and their transmission in arteries, and the coupling and interaction of the arterial system and the heart. On the clinical level he examines the alteration of structure and function of arteries in such disease conditions as hypertension, myocardial ischemia, arterial and aortic valve stenoses, and aging. Innovative in its quantitative analysis, computer modeling, and practical clinical applications, The Arterial Circulation: Physical Principles and Clinical Applications will immediately become the standard reference in the field for all those investigating the structure and function of arteries, and how arterial circulation can be accurately and quantitatively assessed in clinical situations.

Reviews
Advances in clinical diagnostics and therapeutics, however, have made the need for a more complete understanding of this topic...In seven chapters, the author presents a synthesis of the current knowledge of arterial circulation, particularly its physical aspects...The author has provided an excellent synthesis of the current understanding of the physical principles of arterial circulation. The strength of this book is clear organization that allows a reader to either read it in entirety or to identify a topic of specific interest. The integration of the experimental data, computer modeling, and clinical application of this knowledge is particularly valuable. Each topic is defined, introduced, and reviewed, as are the major works that have led to the current understanding of that topic...This volume is a solid and readable overview of the major physical principles of arterial circulation...The challenge for both clinicians and physiologists is to integrate both the molecular and cellular aspects with the physical principles of the arterial system. A solid background in both disciplines will allow for a more complete understanding of the arterial system in both health and disease. This work should provide a solid background and reference for those faced with this challenge. -Doody's Health Sciences Book Review Journal
