Analysis and Assessment of Cardiovascular Function (eBook, PDF)

Redaktion: Drzewiecki, Gary M.; Li, John K-J.

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The function of the heart and the vascular system is vital to modern biomedical research. This book integrates research at the level of cells with that at the level of tissues and organs. It focuses on methods of assessing the function of the cardiovascular system at different anatomical levels using a combination of analytical, experimental, and clinical measurements.
