The text progresses from basic science to clinical a general introduction to the cardiovascular system is followed by anatomy and histology; blood and body fluids; biochemistry and excitation-contraction coupling; form and function; integration and regulation; pathology and therapeutics; and case studies.
The five authors, from St Thomas' and Guy's (London) and John Hopkins (Baltimore), have between them more than 40 years' experience in teaching the cardiovascular system, and have all been instrumental in the move from subject-based to system-based learning at their medical schools.

The glance was great.
It's good to know more about how your body works.
The heart is very complicated organ.Although I didn't understand well how the heart electricity is generated,this glance was -as I said- useful.
Understanding how the cardiovascular system works in the health helps to better understand what happens when something get wrong, why, and how can we face, avoid, treatment that fault.
I wish for all the best health away from any cardiovascular disease.


and finally:
The next time you feel your pulse just thank GOD.

The case studies at the end of this book were really helpful.
