Book Overview
This companion monograph to West's Respiratory Physiology, (which looks at normal respiratory function) focuses instead on the function of the diseased lung. The text offers a concise overview of the disease states of the lung, emphasising structure and function. For this new edition, basic science has been updated to reflect advances in pulmonary pathophysiology in the last five years, including pulmonary function tests, pathophysiology of asthma, pulmonary edema, pulmonary hypertension, air pollution by aerosols, oxygen therapy, and mechanical ventilation. In addition a second interior colour has been added. Intended for second year medical students, this book is also useful for students in clerkship/rotation

Must have for Pulmonary Pathophysiology
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This book is very concise and covers all of the necessary information for a Pulmonary Disease course. Also worthy of mention is the fact that is is the top selling book in the field in it's category. I find it perfect for a Respiratory Therapist, Medical Student, or Physician's Assistant due to the easy to learn format and clear writing style of the author. Also, rumor has it that West is coming out with a combined Pathophysiology and Physiology for Pulmonary that should be well done as well.
