Review: This revised edition, in the series Fundamentals of anaesthesia and acute medicine, updates the reader with the latest information and references. It provides the clear understanding of the workings of the cardiovascular system that is needed by anaesthetists and intensivists to ensure optimal perioperative care. There are chapters on: cardiac cellular physiology and metabolism; ventricular performance; cardiac electrophysiology; coronary physiology; the pulmonary circulation; regulation of the cardiovascular system; cerebral circulation; renal splanchnic, skin and muscle circulations; microcirculation; and anaesthesia and the cardiovascular system.
