Reviews

“<i>Advances in Hemodynamic Research</i> may contribute to a new era of treatment for cardiovascular diseases. New methods of evaluating hemodynamics written in this particular textbook can help us understand not only normal physiology but also pathology of cardiovascular diseases. Furthermore, like Galileo and Newton, this textbook may change the common knowledge that people believe nowadays. The editor, Dr. Keiichi Itatani, is the world’s leader in this field. He has selected outstanding authors who are covering this particular area. Their chapters make the understanding of cutting edge hemodynamic research much more clear and concrete than any other textbook written previously. I congratulate the editors and authors for their significant contributions and hope that this textbook will become the standard in this particular field.” – <strong>Satoshi Numata MD, PhD</strong>
