- Follows the oxygen transport pathway — the delivery, uptake and, extrication of oxygen as it actually functions in a clinical setting — providing a logical framework for understanding cardiopulmonary concepts.
- Explains the implications of defects in the pathway — essential considerations for clinical practice.
- Includes a comprehensive listing of common cardiopulmonary diseases, as well as a number of other diseases that are associated with cardiopulmonary dysfunction.
- Provides new and updated illustrations that depict common pathologies such as the pathophysiology of left ventricular diastolic and systolic dysfunction, volume versus pressure overload, and dilated versus hypertrophies versus restrictive cardiomyophathies.
- Includes descriptions of important interventions such as lung volume reduction surgery and lung transplantation.
- Adds a new section on simple anthropometric measurements for determining obesity, with information on this demographic trend and how it impacts assessment.
Key Features
- Offers a complete overview including basic cardiopulmonary anatomy and physiology, the pathophysiology of commonly encountered cardiac and pulmonary disorders, diagnostic tests and procedures, therapeutic interventions, pharmacology, physical therapy evaluation and treatment, and clinical laboratory values and profiles.

  - Elsevier is committed to making our eBooks accessible and complying with applicable laws. Given our vast library of titles, there are some cases where making an eBook fully accessible presents unique challenges, and including full features could transform its nature to no longer serve its primary purpose or result in a disproportionate burden for the publisher. As a result this eBook may have limited accessibility. See more at https://www.elsevier.com/en-gb/about/accessibility.
  - Please refer to our disproportionate burden or fundamental modification statements.
