For the first time, this invaluable book shows how cardiac perfusion and pumping can be quantified and correlated. Self-contained and unified in presentation, the explanations in the compendium are detailed enough to capture the reader s curiosity and complete enough to provide the background material to explore further into the subject. Mathematically rigorous and clinically oriented, the book is a major resource for biomedical engineers, cardiologists, cardiac surgeons and clinicians. For students, it is an ideal textbook for senior-level courses in cardiovascular engineering.
