Cardiovascular Physiology Concepts Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
Now in its second edition, this highly accessible monograph lays a foundation for understanding of the underlying concepts of normal cardiovascular function. Students of medicine and related disciplines welcome the book’s concise coverage as a practical partner or alternative to a more mechanistically oriented approach or an encyclopedic physiology text. A focus on well-established cardiovascular principles reflects recent, widely accepted research from the field.

This is my first book review on , and that is really a tribute to this book. Despite having gone to a reputable medical school, CV physiology was taught to me as a series of overly-detailed lectures that made it hard to construct the forest from the proverbial trees. Since then, now a resident in Internal Medicine, and having been inspired to go into the field of Critical Care, I knew that I couldn't let this fractured knowledge-base continue for much longer. I had come across the author's website during med school (cvphysiology.com) and recently revisited it. I then bought this book and read it cover-to-cover. Out of the many reasons to praise his work, I think my vote goes to his ability to explain concepts WITHOUT simplifying them. Although paradoxical-sounding, this separates his book out from the rest of the sea of possible purchases. It is easy to make concepts understandable but so simplified that they are literally not clinically useful (e.g., the Made Ridiculously Simple series). On the other hand, probably more common, there are books which lose sight of the fact that the reader is learning, not reviewing what is already known. CV Physiology Concepts finds the balance, and in the end, is clinically very applicable.To Dr. Klabunde, thank you for your authorship of such a useful tool for med students, residents, and seasoned physicians, to better grasp the important aspects of CV physiology. Certainly, I will be spreading the word about your book to my colleagues.
Amazing book... Currently an MS2 at a US accredited MD school, and during MS1 cardio physio it really helped-- it thoroughly explains things well and has these amazing flow charts throughout the book to easily learn major concepts. I ended up redrawing a lot of the diagrams into my notes. I highly recommend the related website as well; it has great animations. I have tutored for two years now and I am constantly recommending this book and the website. Now, during MS2, I am even using it for some review. Very handy, and pretty cheap as far as books go, so I very much recommend it.
I bought this as a companion piece for a course on drug interactions, in order to help me understand the nutrients involved in heart function. It was great for that, but much more in-depth overall. For my simple needs the website offered most of what I needed to know, but I don't regret buying this book. I will use it for a reference once I start working with patients with cardiovascular issues. I read through about 4 chapters, but there's much more - well written and fairly easy to understand for someone in the medical professions.
Book is very well written. It is surprisingly readable, enjoyable even, for a book on cardiac physiology.As an engineer/scientist in the medical industry, I found that Dr. Klabunde's approach was excellent, teaching "cause and effect", as opposed to a more rote memorization style that one often finds in medical texts.Would highly recommend.
Amazing CV physiology textbook I have ever read. This is so nicely summarized, reasonably up-to-date, and yet without excess.Easy to read, yet accurately written without losing essence. No problem for foreign language speakers.Best for students, residents, and fellows who cover CV medicine, such as CV anesthesiology, CV surgery, and cardiology.Also good for reviewing recent concepts in CV physiology as teaching staffs.
Super fast shipping and everything was as advertised. This book breaks everything down into to simple, easy to read concepts and has really assisted me
Easy to read nice graphic very detailed basic physiology would read them together with guy ton. would buy it again
