The Heart and Circulation: An Integrative Model, 2nd Edition Branko Furst, MD, FFARCSI. This book in new/never been read. There is a crease on the upper corner on the back cover-see photo.

This extensively revised second edition traces the development of the basic concepts in cardiovascular physiology in the light of the accumulated experimental and clinical evidence. It considers the early embryonic circulation, where blood circulation suggests the existence of a motive force, tightly coupled to the metabolic demands of the tissues. It proposes that rather than being an organ of propulsion, the heart, serves as an organ of control, generating pressure by rhythmically impeding blood flow. New and expanded chapters cover the arterial pulse, circulation in the upright position, microcirculation and functional heart morphology.
