Human Cardiovascular Control by: Loring B. Rowell 12 used from $62.97 9 Thirdparty New from $78.11 Edition: 1 Media: Hardcover EAN: 9780195073621 ISBN: 0195073622 Number Of Pages: 500 Publication Date: 1993-01-15 Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
Product Description: This is a new and comprehensive analysis of reflex and hormonal control of the human cardiovascular system that grew out of Rowell's 1986 volume, Human Circulation: Regulation During Physical Stress, and incorporates more recent findings. The goal is to assist students, physiologists and clinicians to understand control of pressure, vascular volume, and blood flow by examining the cardiovascular system during orthostasis and exercise, two stresses that most affect these variables. These stresses are employed to analyze the passive properties of the vascular system and provide a basis for a detailed examination of how these properties are modified by mechanical, neural, and humoral factors. Interactive effects of the vasculature on cardiac performance are stressed to underline the importance of autonomic control supplemented by muscle pumping to maintain adequate ventricular filling pressure, particularly during exercise. Limitations in cardiac pumping ability, in oxygen diffusion from lungs to blood and from blood to active muscle, in metabolism, and in neural control of organ blood flow are analyzed to explain how total oxygen consumption is limited. The unsolved mystery is the nature of signals that govern the cardiovascular responses to exercise. This is discussed in a new and critical synthesis of ideas and evidence concerning the specific "error signals" that are sensed and then corrected by activation of cardiac and vascular effectors during exercise.

Handbook of Vascular Surgery by: Sales 6 used from $57.95 11 Thirdparty New from $78.70 Edition: 1 Media: Paperback EAN: 9780824742799 ISBN: 0824742796 Number Of Pages: 384 Publication Date: 2001-10-02 Publisher: Informa Healthcare
Product Description: Substantially revised to reflect the most recent surgical techniques and practices, this reference describes the most effective strategies to prevent, identify, and manage complications in vascular surgery-guiding surgeons through patient selection; instances of entrapment, malpositioning, and rupture; emerging endovascular treatments; and specific device-related complications.
Product Description: This concise textbook of vascular surgery focuses on the clinical assessment, diagnosis and treatment of the common vascular surgical disorders commonly seen in clinical practice. The different management options are assessed in the light of up-to-date knowledge of current clinical practice and information from the research literature. The authors are all teaching hospital consultants in vascular surgery who have an active interest in vascular surgical training and research. As living conditions improve, people throughout the world are surviving longer and vascular disorders become more common as age increases. Many of these disorders can now be treated successfully by surgery, which results in improvement not only the duration, but also the quality of lief in these older age groups. The introductory chapters concentrate on the clinical assessment and investigation of the vascular patient and is followed by a surgeon's eye view of the role of interventional vascular radiology in current vascular practice. The vascular surgeon is often called upon to insert prosthetic material and a general discussion of the use of vascular protheses is included. There are individual chapters on the commonly encountered vascular conditions, particularly carotid stenosis, aortic aneurysm and peripheral vascular disease. The management of vascular trauma, visceral vessel disease, venous disease and lymphoedema are also discussed. The book aims to equip the reader with the basic knowledge required to manage the majority of clinical vascular problems. The reader should also be equipped to enter sensible discussion on the management of commonly encountered vascular surgical conditions in the exam setting. The book is highly illustrated with photographs and diagrams, many in colour, emphasizing the very practical nature of the approach. The book will be of value to trainee surgeons preparing for MRCS, FRCS or equivalent level examinations, as well as those seeking useful background reading about the common vascular conditions and treatments encountered on the vascular wards and in the outpatient clinics.
