Description

The goal of this trusted text is to introduce you to clinical medicine by reviewing the pathophysiologic basis of 120 diseases (and associated signs and symptoms) commonly encountered in medical practice. The authors, all experts in their respective fields, have provided a concise review of relevant normal structure and function of each body system, followed by a description of the pathophysiologic mechanisms that underlie several common diseases related to that system.

Each chapter of Pathophysiology of Disease concludes with a collection of case studies and questionsdesigned to test your understanding of the pathophysiology of each clinical entity discussed. These case studies allow you to apply your knowledge to specific clinical situations. Detailed answers to each case study question are provided at the end of the book. This unique interweaving of physiological and pathological concepts will put you on the path toward thinking about signs and symptoms in terms of their pathophysiologic basis, giving you an understanding of the “why” behind illness and treatment.

User’s Reviews

This book is a must have for USMLE Step 1 Prep. If you plan on getting this book the last 2 weeks prior to steps, don’t bother. However if you get this book early on and start using it on a regular biases for lecture and cross reference topics or need further clarifications or to look at cases. This is your book.

I would use this with the First Aid and use the case files in the end of the chapters and the bold highlighted topics of each chapter as mental maps. Should you hit upon a topic you’re not familiar with look it up!

USMLE will test you’re ability to understand topics and incorporate them into clinical situations.

Concise and a very good primer in pathophysiology. Though for more detailed description you should dig a bit deeper in more specialized textbooks.
