Handbook of Cardiac Anatomy, Physiology and Devices

The Handbook of Cardiac Anatomy, Physiology, and Devices documents the advances in the field of cardiac care that are being made daily, as well as the means to treat cardiac diseases. Because the medical industry in the United States is moving at an incredibly rapid pace, the need for a major resource textbook is necessary. The book's utility is enhanced by a companion DVD containing the Visible Heart Viewer, as well as functional images of human hearts. In addition, this text also features anatomical illustrations by the renowned Frank Netter.
