SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This volume presents a concise but complete overview of the treatment of cardiovascular instability in the acute and ill patient. All aspects are considered, ranging from basic physiology and pathophysiology to diagnostic tools and established and novel forms of therapy. Finally, these principles are integrated into a series of clinically relevant scenarios.
