Editorial Review:

A companion monograph to West's Respiratory Physiology, which examines normal respiratory function, Pulmonary Pathophysiology focuses on the function of the diseased lung. The text offers a clear, concise overview of the most essential information regarding disease states of the lung, emphasizing structure and function. A question and answer section is included. This Seventh Edition offers more coverage of lung cancer and infectious diseases affecting the lungs, and has more tables to aid in rapid review. All questions now conform to current USMLE format, and answers include rationales for all answer choices. The fully searchable text is available online on thePoint.

- A little dry, some bright spells
Like Chairman Mao, Dr John West has terrorized legions of young men and women with his little red book. His original textbook of respiratory physiology has become a classic of its time, being the first (and often last) foray into really difficult physiology equations that many a med student or resident dares to take. For many, it has no doubt been the last straw that drove them into a career in orthopedic surgery. This follow-up offering, with its mixture of science and padding, is easier to follow ... Read More

Rating:

- poorly explained, confusing, and misleading
This is not a good text. There is too little information and explanation for the concepts. In addition, the back of the book claims that the questions are in USMLE format and that explanations are provided, but that is simply a lie. There are no explanations. Compared to physiology texts such as those by Costanzo or Lilly, this book is very weak.

- M.Ubaghs
In his books Dr West does a great job teaching basic Respiratory Physiology and Respiratory Physiopathology.The easy-to-read texts will be very helpfull to medical studends in their first years and for USLME review.

Rating:

- Must have for Pulmonary Pathophysiology
This book is very concise and covers all of the necessary information for a Pulmonary Disease course. Also worthy of mention is the fact that is is the top selling book in the field in it's category. I find it perfect for a Respiratory Therapist, Medical Student, or Physician's Assistant due to the easy to learn format and clear writing style of the author. Also, rumor has it that West is coming out with a combined Pathophysiology and Physiology for Pulmonary that should be well done as well.
