What drives the circulation? In this comprehensive review of existing circulation models, the conventional view that the heart is a pressure-propulsion pump is challenged. The existing models fail to explain an increasing number of observed circulatory...

Produktinformationen zu „The Heart and Circulation (PDF)“

A unifying circulation model is proposed in which the blood, responding to metabolic demands of the tissues, is the primary regulator of cardiac output. This new model arises from accumulated clinical and experimental evidence. The heart, rather than being an organ of blood propulsion, assumes a secondary role and generates pressure by impeding the flow of blood. This is supported by examples from the fields of early embryonic circulation, comparative phylogeny, functional morphology, exercise physiology and a range of clinical scenarios.

The Heart and Circulation: An Integrative Model offers a paradigm shift in the understanding of circulatory phenomena. It will become a valuable resource for all those clinicians, researchers, educators and students who, having been confronted with the paradox of the circulation, are looking for a broader interpretation.

Pressezitat

“Dr. Furst has commendably reviewed the origin and historical development of the heart-as-a-pump concept and amassed, as well, a very considerable weight of evidence undermining it and supporting an alternative model of the heart as an organ of impedance. This book will be particularly well received by all those who, like myself, experience a growing lack of confidence in the cardiocentric model of circulation. … I recommend this book to all open-minded cardiovascular physiology enthusiasts without reservation … .” (Anthony M. O’Leary, Anesthesiology, Vol. 124 (4), April, 2016)

“With this monograph Branko Furst succeeded to lay a foundation for a new physiology of the cardiovascular system. His excellent overview and presentation of a wide selection of topics is presented with clarity and depth of knowledge. … this book will serve as a basis for a more encompassing, specifically human cardiovascular physiology arising from the evolutionary-biologic model of circulation.” (Original book review in German language, Hans Christoph Kümmell, Der Merkurstab, Vol. 67 (3), 2014)
