Features: The original work of this book is a classic, and its edition was hailed as a milestone in cardiac physiology. This is the third edition, which includes new chapters introducing recent advancements. The book is divided into 6 parts and 20 chapters. The first part introduces the basic concepts of the cardiovascular system, the regulation and control of blood circulation, and the ultrastructure of the heart. The second part discusses the structure and function of ion channels and ion pumps at the molecular level, combined with the characteristics of the pacemaker and conduction system, and includes content on electrocardiograms. The third part systematically introduces the critical role of calcium in excitation-contraction coupling, myocardial contraction and relaxation, and incorporates many new advancements. The fourth part discusses the characteristics of cardiac oxygen supply, metabolism, and work at the organ level and analyzes the formation of myocardial hypertrophy at the molecular level. The fifth part systematically covers the content of circulatory physiology. The last part discusses pathophysiology, including myocardial ischemia, myocardial infarction, ischemia-reperfusion, arrhythmias, etc., linking fundamental cardiac physiology with clinical practice through these chapters. The book is rich in content, highlights key points, and is particularly distinguished by its well-designed over 300 illustrations. It serves as a reference for students, clinicians, and researchers in the fields of cardiac physiology, pathology, pharmacology, and molecular biology.
