Modern Aspects of the Circulation in Health and Disease (1915)

Modern Aspects of the Circulation in Health and Disease is a book written by Carl John Wiggers and first published in 1915. The book is a comprehensive study of the human circulatory system, covering both its normal functioning in healthy individuals and its various abnormalities and diseases. Wiggers, a prominent physiologist of his time, provides a detailed analysis of the circulation of blood through the heart, arteries, veins, and capillaries, and the complex interplay of various physiological processes that regulate blood flow, pressure, and oxygenation. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the anatomy and histology of the circulatory system, the mechanics of blood flow, the regulation of cardiac output, the role of the nervous system in controlling circulation, and the pathophysiology of various cardiovascular diseases. Wiggers also discusses the latest research and experimental techniques used to study the circulation, including the use of X-rays, electrocardiography, and other diagnostic tools. Overall, Modern Aspects of the Circulation in Health and Disease is a seminal work in the field of cardiovascular physiology and remains an important reference for researchers and clinicians today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
