DESCRIPTION
The Second Edition of
Pathophysiology
offers a
unique clinical approach that facilitates learning by
viewing pathophysiology as health care professionals
do. Whereas a traditional systems-based approach
impractically isolates diseases to a single body
system, this textbook's approach recognizes how
disease affects multiple systems.
