McDonald’s Blood Flow in Arteries
Crc Press Inc (Verlag)
978-0-8153-6884-7 (ISBN)
For over sixty years, McDonald's Blood Flow in Arteries has remained the definitive reference work in the field of arterial hemodynamics, including arterial structure and function with special emphasis on pulsatile flow and pressure. Prestigious, authoritative and comprehensive, this seventh edition has been totally updated and revised with many new chapters. This edition continues to provide the theoretical basis required for a thorough understanding of arterial blood flow in both normal and pathological conditions, while keeping clinical considerations and readability paramount throughout.
Key Features
The definitive reference work on arterial hemodynamics
Fully updated and revised to cover all recent advancements in the field
Dr. Wilmer Nichols, PhD., is Emeritus Professor of Cardiovascular Medicine in the School of Medicine at the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida. His career has been dedicated to the investigation of structure and function of the heart and arterial system in age and arterial disease. He has published over 200 articles in peer reviewed journals; books include the 6th edition of McDonald’s Blood Flow in Arteries. Among his many awards are Lifetime Achievement Awards from the Artery Society of Europe and the North American Artery Society. Dr. Michael O’Rourke, MD, DSc., is Professor of Medicine (Emeritus) at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) and a Cardiologist at St. Vincent’s Hospital, Sydney. His basic research training was in arterial hemodynamics, working on experimental animals and computer models with Michael Taylor (Sydney) and William Milnor (Baltimore). He has published over 500 articles in peer reviewed journals; books include the 6th edition (2011) of McDonald’s Blood Flow in Arteries. Recent research is into cardiovascular aging, using new methods of pulse waveform analysis to detect, explain and treat ill-effects on the heart and brain from midlife in asymptomatic subjects. Dr. Elazer Edelman, MD, PhD., is the Edward J. Poitras Professor in Medical Engineering and Science at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Cambridge, Massachusetts where he directs the Institute of Medical Engineering and Science. He is also Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, and a cardiac intensive care unit cardiologist at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston. Dr. Charalambos Vlachopoulos MD is Professor of Cardiology at the 1st Department of Cardiology, Hippokration Hospital, University of Athens Medical School with clinical interests in hypertension and interventional cardiology. Professor Vlachopoulos is currently Chairman of the European Society of Cardiology Working Group "Peripheral Circulation" and President of the Artery Society. Together with Wilmer Nichols and Michael O’Rourke he has authored the 6th Edition of "McDonald’s Blood Flow in Arteries". He has lectured extensively in international conferences. He is a member of the Board of Hypertension, Artery Research, and Hellenic Journal of Cardiology and a Reviewer for numerous Medical Journals.
