Exercise and the Heart 5th Revised edition [Kõva köide]

In this update of the 1999 edition, professors of medicine at Stanford University (where Froelicher directs the ECG/Exercise Laboratory) incorporate advances in the field of cardiology, new acronyms, updated ideas regarding cardiovascular physiology, and revised guidelines on exercise testing and training in the prevention and rehabilitation of cardiovascular and related conditions. The authors balance discussion of research on the physiologic and pathophysiologic basis of heart failure and health with clinical diagnostic and treatment issues. They also address the controversial issue of screening asymptomatic persons. Summary charts usefully add new citations to classic studies.
