Principles of Pulmonary Medicine helps you master the
foundations of pulmonary medicine without being
overwhelmed! This concise, easy-to-read medical reference
book correlates basic science principles with the
radiologic, pathologic, and clinical aspects of
respiratory disease to provide an integrated, accessible
approach to the study of pulmonary medicine. Focus on the
clinical aspects and treatment of specific pulmonary and
respiratory diseases, and understand the anatomy,
physiology, and pathophysiology relevant to major
pulmonary disorders.Apply the material to real-life
practice with case-based pulmonology questions covering
topics including pulmonary function tests, physiologic
data, and results of arterial blood gas testing.
