Basic Principles of Cardiac Morphology & Anatomy

This book focuses on the basic morphologic and anatomic concepts necessary to properly describe hearts. These principles of cardiac morphology and anatomy are illustrated using images of pathologic specimens, allowing for visualization of these findings directly in hearts themselves. This book is organized in systemic, sequential fashion. While many other textbooks regarding cardiac morphology utilize echocardiography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance, or cartoon images, this book utilizes images of actual hearts.This provides a unique approach to demonstrating these principles. The book contains nearly 100 original, high-resolution color images labeled for easy understanding. This book can be used by early learners to initially learn the concepts or by advanced learners to reinforce concepts. The book will be helpful for college students, medical students, anatomy students, nursing students, physicians, bedside nurses, and physician assistants, among others. This book is also priced lower than competing books to facilitate easy access to a wide audience.
