his book focuses on established cardiovascular principles and highlights some of the progress achieved by recent research in the cardiovascular field. The authors report the basic concepts related to the functioning of the cardiovascular system necessary for medical students to understand. To foster learning, in each chapter the fundamental points are highlighted in italics and/or bold. In addition, we have added boxes that contain some more detailed information about physiological mechanisms or clinical aspects are analyzed and described in greater detail. The book describes the structure and function of the heart and vascular system for the reader to understand how the cardiovascular system responds in both health and disease. The book conveys a unified vision of the function of the heart and the vascular system, explaining the complexity of the system that goes far beyond the integrated connection between preload, afterload and cardiac contractility. The endothelium covers the internal part of the whole cardiovascular system; therefore, endothelial physiology is treated in several chapters. Given the importance of coronary circulation in cardiac pathophysiology, this special circulation is described in detail and enriched with the most up-to-date information. Several paragraphs and boxes on clinical implications are dedicated to the principles of electrophysiology and the electrocardiogram. A space is also dedicated to myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury and cardioprotective procedures. The book is written in a linear and simple language without compromising the scientific rigor of the various topics covered..

Cet ouvrage est destiné en priorité aux étudiants en médecine et en sciences et de façon plus générale à, tous ceux qui s'intéressent à la physiologie. Particulièrement exhaustif, il explique la physiologie cardiovasculaire depuis la notion de charge dans la circulation du sang, les principales lois de l'hémodynamique jusqu'à la régulation de la pression artérielle et la physiologie cardio-vasculaire de l'exercice musculaire en passant par l'étude précise de la pompe cardiaque, de l'activité électrique cardiaque cellulaire et globale ou encore des sources d'énergie du muscle cardiaque. Cette troisième édition, entièrement revue, comporte en outre un nouveau chapitre consacré à la ± Génétique des troubles du rythme . Deux modèles de compréhension, l'un concernant l'activité mécanique cardiovasculaire et l'autre la genèse des électrocardiogrammes, viennent étayer cet ouvrage. Une iconographie très complète, enrichie par trois planches couleurs, illustre les textes déjà très didactiques. La première édition de cet ouvrage a été accueillie très favorablement par les spécialistes de physiologie cardiovasculaire, par exemple ± Il s'agit incontestablement d'un ouvrage de physiopathologie remarquable et d'une haute tenue scientifique... Professeur Jean Lequime, Président d'honneur de la Société internationale de cardiologie ± Excellent livre sur la physiologie cardiovasculaire... J'ai beaucoup apprécié la clarté avec laquelle des sujets Ies plus complexes sont traités. Cet ouvrage rendra, j'en suis persuadé, service à de nombreux étudiants et spécialistes qui souhaitent pénétrer dans l'intimité du système cardiocirculatoire. Professeur Robert Haîat, Président de la Société française de cardiologie ± La très grande clarté de l'exposé va faciliter la tâche des étudiants et va aussi aider les chercheurs et les professeurs qui veulent comprendre certains chapitres de la physiologie en dehors de leur spécialisation.
