Download Free (EPUB, PDF)

The Second Edition of Pulmonary Physiology and Pathophysiology presents normal and abnormal pulmonary function in the same case-based format that has made the first edition a favorite among students. Each chapter begins with a clinical case study of diseases typically seen by practitioners. The cases are followed by a discussion and breakdown of the physiology, pathophysiology, anatomy, pharmacology, and pathology for each disease, and a question-and-answer section. This edition has an infectious diseases chapter, updates on asthma pathogenesis and bronchodilators, and user-friendly features such as chapter openers, chapter outlines, "key points" summary boxes, and board-formatted questions and answers.

This is really a lovely book for clearing up concepts in pulmonary physiology. Dr West, one of the globally famous physiology author, integrated pulmonary pathology with the underlining physiology in this thin book. He tried to help students understand what goes wrong in numerous common lung and airway problems with the interesting cases he presented. As he pointed out in the preface, he intended to make this book as concise as possible in order to fit the modern cirriculum by sparing more time for students to deal with the expanding syllabus in molecular science!!

If you are interested in Pulmonary or are interested in bettering youself, this is a must have for your collection. It is an easy read that you can read through multiple times and pick up new stuff each time. Highly recommended

This book is readable and concise. Physiology and pathophysiology are applied to each case study. However, the chest X-ray findings are not reproduced well in the figures.

Used this book in medical as a supplement to larger phys book. Very helpful and West also has about 13 youtube videos that explain Pulmonary Phys very well. Each are about an hour apiece and post grad level for the most part.

THIS IS A HANDY BOOK TO REVIEW YOUR PHYSIOLOY AND PATHOPHYSIOLOGY MAKING THE REVIEW FUN. IS PRACTICAL AND EASY TO UNDERSTAND.
