I just finished Cardiovascular Pathophysiology by Kusumoto and I was truly impressed. I will be entering a pre-med program next year, yet I understood every word of the book. I've read a fair amount of medical textbooks out of interest, yet this is the first one that read as easily as a novel: it gives you all the information you need (ie basic physiology) to understand the pathophysiology of the most common cardiovascular syndromes and doesn't assume that you already know everything. This must be an amazing book for medical students if a high school student can understand its content! The diagrams are clear and frequent, the questions at the end of each chapter are helpful but there are too few of them (4 or 5 per chapter) The systematic approach to each disease makes the content coherent and clear. The information is detailed but not so much that it becomes sterile academic jargon. A must for anyone interested in cardiovascular syndromes, even more so for medical students.
