Physical Examination of the Heart and Circulation

Description:

"With just a stethoscopy, a pocket flashlight, a sphygmomanometer, and an ophthalmoscope - plus clues gathered by the unaided senses - you can glean a surprising amount of diagnostic information." "Leading cardiologist Joseph K. Perloff, MD, clearly explains all of the physical signs to be assessed and how they correlate with the structure and function of a patient's heart. And, he shows you precisely how to elicit these signs and derive as much diagnostic benefit from them as possible." "Inside this 3rd Edition of Physical Examination of the Heart and Circulation, every echocardiogram has been digitally enhanced for optimal clarity. Collected by the author over several decades, these illustrations perfectly capture the telltale signs of a complete range of cardiovascular conditions. What's more, a new introduction in each chapter offers a look at the history of the various examination approaches."--BOOK JACKET.
