This is the classic account of haemodynamics, giving a firm theoretical basis to understanding blood flow in normal and disease conditions. "Blood Flow in Arteries" explains the relationship between pulsatile pressure and flow in the arteries using a mathematical model of fluid flow principles. Often a difficult subject for clinicians, understanding the basic principles and how they apply in clinical situations is essential for dicision making in vascular disease, and in the development of new technologies (eg. minimally invasive therapies, stents) to deal with cardiovascular problems.

Review:

"With this new edition, this classic text should continue as the standard reference in the field of arterial hemodynamics. There are several excellent new chapters on various disease processes and techniques for the measurement of arterial function. These chapters significantly add to the
value of the new edition to cardiologists and basic researchers."--Doody's Journal
