Inhaltsangabe

The cardiovascular system is the engine of human life, driving circulation, maintaining homeostasis, and adapting to stress and disease. This book provides a clear and concise overview of cardiovascular physiology, covering everything from the structure of the heart and blood vessels to the regulation of cardiac output, blood pressure, and regional circulation.

Special attention is given to clinical aspects such as heart sounds, ECG interpretation, arrhythmias, heart failure, shock, hypertension, and the physiology of exercise. Written in a handbook style, it serves both as an exam companion for medical, dental, nursing, and allied health students, and as a quick refresher for practitioners.

By the end of this book, readers will:

• Understand the structure and function of the heart, vessels, and conduction system.

• Learn how the cardiac cycle, heart sounds, and ECG reflect physiology in action.

• Explore the mechanisms of cardiovascular regulation, including Starling’s law, autonomic influences, and RAAS.

• Gain insight into regional circulations such as coronary, cerebral, pulmonary, renal, hepatic, and fetal.

• Apply physiology to clinical situations including arrhythmias, hypertension, hemorrhage, and exercise adaptation.

This practical and accessible resource bridges essential physiology with clinical relevance, making cardiovascular concepts easier to grasp and apply.
