RESUMO
A detailed examination of the cardiovascular system is indispensable to the full appreciation of the cardiac status. Yet, because this fundamental aspect of cardiology is so inadequately presented by many of the major texts, students often fail to grasp the essentials. The author not only brings a rich knowledge of the subject to his task, but also a wide experience of teaching and a firm conviction that the prime purpose of the undergraduate pre-clinical curriculum is to provide information on which the student may build. The student who masters this information will be well prepared for the clinical years and suitably equipped for more advanced studies
