The Second Edition of
Pathophysiology
offers a unique clinical
approach that facilitates learningbyviewingpathophysiologyashealth
care professionals do. Whereas a traditional systems-based approach
impractically isolates diseases to a single body system, this textbook’s
approach recognizeshowdiseaseaffectsmultiplesystems.Additionally,
rather than coveringonly a limitednumber of diseases, aiming for rote
memorizationof thekey factors in thosediseases, the clinical approach
details themechanisms of disease. Bymastering the core concepts of
alteredhuman function, students can apply adeeper understanding to
a host of diseases, rather than trying tomemorize facts about specific
conditions. Because students learn through application, they learn to
think about pathophysiology the way they will need to in a clinical
setting, byworking from symptoms to the cause, rather than theother
wayaround. Eachchapterdiscussesclinicalmodels, enhancing the real-
worldapplicationof thematerial.
