Pathophysiology of Heart Disease: An Introduction to Cardiovascular Medicine, in its revised 8th Edition, offers a comprehensive foundation for understanding cardiovascular pathophysiology. Designed to prepare readers for clinical encounters, this text emphasizes a clear, complete, and clinically relevant approach to patient diagnosis and management. Dr. Leonard S. Lilly, along with faculty from Harvard Medical School and cardiology fellows, equips readers with the knowledge to diagnose and manage cardiovascular conditions effectively.
This edition provides a strong foundation in cardiovascular medicine, bridging the gap between basic science and clinical practice. It delves into the underlying mechanisms of heart disease, offering insights into the functional and structural abnormalities that lead to cardiovascular dysfunction. The book integrates key concepts in physiology, biochemistry, and pharmacology to provide a holistic view of cardiovascular pathophysiology.
Readers will gain a practical understanding of how to apply pathophysiological principles in clinical settings. The text covers a wide range of topics, including heart failure, arrhythmias, ischemic heart disease, valvular heart disease, and congenital heart defects. Each chapter includes detailed explanations of disease mechanisms, diagnostic approaches, and therapeutic strategies.
