From the Publisher:
Written by a team of international experts,
Hurst's The Heart is the most comprehensive
and current resource on the heart. You will find
expert coveage ranging from genetics and
molecular biology, epidemiology, imaging, and
the social and societal origins of heart disease
to patient care. The new Twelfth Edition
includes new chapters on coronary blood flow,
stunning and hibernation, race and ethnicity in
CV disease, and CV physiology -- and all
chapters have been updated throughtout.
