Text for Pulmonary Hypertension,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Primary Pulmonary Hypertension (Lung Biology in Health and Disease) (Hardcover)
I am a nurse, not a physician, however the book was informative for me also. Since there are FEW texts specific to Primary and/or Secondary PAH, it is a resource that is badly needed. It is not for the lay person. Lucia
