Pathophysiology for Medical and Biomedical Engineering helps students, clinicians, and researchers understand how diseases begin and evolve. It is a comprehensive reference for students and professionals to learn the principles of pathophysiology of each body system that offers different approaches to treating disease. It’s an excellent starting point or refresher for clinicians to develop new approaches to treating diseases. Sections cover the latest advances in therapeutics to address what students in medical education need to understand.
