Disturbances of the Heart Discussion of the Treatment of the Heart in Its Various Disorders, With a Chapter on Blood Pressure

A clear, concise guide to the many ways the heart can falter, this work walks readers through the essential categories of cardiac disturbance—from rhythm irregularities and valve disease to inflammation and acute attacks. It explains how clinicians assess the heart’s condition, focusing on functional evaluation rather than anatomy, and outlines the physiological basis for each disorder. The author blends contemporary scientific insight with practical therapeutic strategies, making the text a reliable reference for everyday medical practice.

The second edition adds a dedicated chapter on blood pressure, linking hypertension and hypotension to overall cardiac health and offering updated treatment recommendations. Readers also find useful discussions on diet, lifestyle measures, and special considerations for children, pregnancy, and renal involvement. Structured for quick consultation, the book serves both seasoned physicians and students seeking a solid foundation in heart‑related medicine.
