Thoroughly updated for its Fourth Edition, this volume is the most comprehensive, current text on the physiology and pathophysiology of exercise testing. It provides an organized method for evaluating causes of exercise limitation and includes flow charts and over 80 case studies. The book is the only reference to address those disorders that can be diagnosed only through cardiopulmonary exercise testing.
The Fourth Edition incorporates the newest 9-panel graphic array and includes a new chapter on regulation of arterial and mixed venous blood gases. This edition includes more diagnoses recognized by exercise testing, and more efficient flow charts.
