DESCRIPTION:
Five Stars Clear and actually very accessible for a treatise of such depth. A. Trust said Blood as an Organ. Dr. Furst has written one of the most insightful treatises about the cardiovascular system in the last "Blood as an Organ" according to A. Trust. Dr. Furst has written one of the most insightful treatises about the cardiovascular system in the last 25 years. This book will not be liked by anyone who believes without question the basic cardiovascular principles taught in physiology classes and medical schools around the world. However for anyone with a curiosity to explore beyond the physiological basics, th. 5 years.

O’Leary, Anesthesiology, Vol. … I recommend this book to all open-minded cardiovascular physiology enthusiasts without reservation … .” (Anthony M. Furst has commendably reviewed the origin and historical development of the heart-as-a-pump concept and amassed, as well, a very considerable weight of evidence undermining it and supporting an alternative model of the heart as an organ of impedance. His excellent overview and presentation of a wide selection of topics is presented with clarity and depth of knowledge. … this book will serve as a basis for a mo
This booktraces the development of the basic concepts in cardiovascular physiology in the light of the accumulated experimental and clinical evidence and, rather than making the findings fit the standard pressure-propulsion mold, let the phenomena speak for themselves . The complex, energy-dissipating intracardiac flow-patterns likewise suggest that the heart functions as an organ of impedance, whose energy consumption closely matches the generated pressure, but not its throughput. Hyperdynamic states occurring in arteriovenous fistulas and congenital heart defects, where communication exists between the systemic and pulmonary circuits at the level of atria or the ventricles, demonstrate that, once the heart is unable to impede the flow of blood, reactive changes occur in the pulmonary and systemic circulations, leading to pulmonary hypertension and Eisenmenger syndrome. The validity of this model is then confirmed by comparing the key developmental stages of the cardiovascular system in the invertebrates, the insects and across the vertebrate
