This book focuses on established cardiovascular principles and
highlights some of the progress achieved by recent research in the
cardiovascular field. The authors report the basic concepts related
to the functioning of the cardiovascular system necessary for
medical students to understand. To foster learning, in each chapter
the fundamental points are highlighted in italics and/or bold. In
addition, we have added boxes that contain some more detailed
information about physiological mechanisms or clinical aspects are
analyzed and described in greater detail. The book describes the
structure and function of the heart and vascular system for the
reader to understand how the cardiovascular system responds in both
health and disease. The book conveys a unified vision of the
function of the heart and the vascular system, explaining the
complexity of the system that goes far beyond the integrated
connection between preload, afterload and cardiac contractility.
The endothelium covers the internal part of the whole
cardiovascular system; therefore, endothelial physiology is treated
in several chapters. Given the importance of coronary circulation
in cardiac pathophysiology, this special circulation is described
in detail and enriched with the most up-to-date information.
Several paragraphs and boxes on clinical implications are dedicated
to the principles of electrophysiology and the electrocardiogram. A
space is also dedicated to myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury
and cardioprotective procedures. The book is written in a linear
and simple language without compromising the scientific rigor of
the various topics covered.
