Reviews
“It is my pleasure to write these lines in support of the publication of this book addressing the vascular disorders of the pulmonary system. The editors have been able to convene the best specialists to address issues that range from the genetics, through the primary diseases of the vessels and ending with advanced pulmonary diseases. It is a field that has evolved very rapidly, where an authoritative review can help place together the incremental information accrued over the last decades. I commend the editors for their effort and hope this book will make the impact it deserves.” – Bartolome Celli, M.D. Professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School
“As knowledge of pulmonary vascular disease rapidly evolves, current summaries of this information from recognized experts in the field become increasingly necessary. This book brings together leaders from around the world to provide a unique resource. They have synthesized previous and current research addressing key areas of the disease state, in manner that will move the field forward. The authors and editors should be commended for this work in a period of exceptional challenge for everyone involved in healthcare.” – David B. Badesch, MD Professor of Medicine, Divisions of Pulmonary Sciences and Critical Care Medicine, and Cardiology, Clinical Director, Pulmonary Hypertension Center, University of Colorado, Denver, CO, USA
“There have been enormous advances in the understanding and management of pulmonary vascular disorders; pulmonary hypertension has been transformed from a fatal disease to a treatable condition with the introduction of effective new treatments. This book, edited by Roberto Carbone, Francesco Puppo, and Victor Tapson, brings together some of the world experts in pulmonary vascular disease to give a comprehensive overview and update of these important diseases, with discussions on their genetics, pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment. As well as comprehensively discussing pulmonary hypertension and pulmonary thromboembolism, the book covers the involvement of the pulmonary vasculature in other lung diseases, such as interstitial lung diseases, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and sleep apnoea, as well as the involvement of the pulmonary vasculature in systemic disorders, including rheumatoid arthritis and other immunological diseases, cardiovascular diseases and in pregnancy. This seminal book will be invaluable to physicians from several specialities and to researchers.” – Peter Barnes FRS, FMedSci, Imperial College London
