Heart Physiology by Mark D. Kittleson (Davis, CA USA)  2 Stars
September 24, 2007
We just completed using this text in a study group setting. I have about 25 years of cardiovascular pathophysiology background but had never read through this book in detail so I looked forward to reading it. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed. Physiology, especially cardiovascular physiology, is a logical discipline. Heart Physiology, however, is not written in a logical fashion in many places, especially in the organ physiology and pathophysiology sections. In fact, in places the presentation borders on being incoherent. Material is repeated and sometimes this information is contradictory. Some material in the pathophysiology sections is just plain wrong and in others is misleading. Needless to say I am currently searching for a replacement for next year's group.

Perfect for the young cardiac physiologist  5 Stars
May 08, 2000
This book is perfect for the young cardiac physiologist. My interests are concentrated on the metabolism of the heart and while the Author has spent many years of research on glucose metabolism this book gives an excellent broad based understanding on heart physiology. It is considered the "bible" in the lab I work in. Well recommended to undergraduate as well as postgraduate students looking for clear explanations on different concepts and theories regarding the heart.
