Description
Hypertension remains a leading cause of disability and death worldwide. Self-monitoring of blood pressure by patients at home is currently recommended as a valuable tool for the diagnosis and management of hypertension. Unfortunately, in clinical practice, home blood pressure monitoring is often inadequately implemented, mostly due to the use of inaccurate devices and inappropriate methodologies. Thus, the potential of the method to improve the management of hypertension and cardiovascular disease prevention has not yet been exhausted.
Reviews
Review “This does an excellent job of providing beautiful, well labelled photographs of cross sections of embalmed human material in conjunction with classic radiological images … This book is a must for radiologists in training who are learning to interpret sectional images. 4 Stars!” – Dr George C. Enders, University of Kansas Medical Center, Doody Publishing Service “[it is] essential for at least one copy of this atlas to be readily available in all hospital and departmental libraries. It will be consulted very frequently by radiologists and radiographers, clinicians, medical students and students of other paramedical disciplines – in fact by anyone who wishes to deepen their appreciation of cross-sectional anatomy.” – RAD Magazine, 2008 “This is certainly the best text book of sectional anatomy about. It is beautifully produced and the photographs of cross sections of embalmed human material are the best I have ever seen. This book is an absolute must for radiologists and radiographers in training but it is also an essential reference book for anatomists and medical students. I would also strongly recommend it to those studying for the MRCS and the intercollegiate FRCS, as the ability to interpret images is an important part of the viva component of the examination. It will be consulted frequently by anyone who wishes to enhance his or her appreciation of cross-sectional anatomy. It is a veritable gem.” – Annals of The Royal College of Surgeons of England “I would recommend this book to any student studying medicine.” – Oxford Medical School Gazette From the Inside Flap First published in 1991, Human Sectional Anatomy set new standards with the outstanding photographic quality of its cadaver sections and accompanying radiological images. Now in its third edition, this handy-to-use pocketbook of unsurpassed quality is further enhanced by additional material including several completely new pages of sagittal and coronal sections and improved radiological images obtained using the most up-to-date equipment. The photographic material is accompanied by invaluable notes with details of key anatomical and radiological features.
