This handy guide provides the student or clinician with an understanding of disorders of lung structure and function as they pertain to the clinical setting. It's practical, symptom-based approach links together patients' presenting signs and underlying disease mechanisms for the full spectrum of respiratory problems.

Learning objectives, study questions, clinical examples, and abundant algorithms highlight each chapter. The presentation takes you from recognition of symptoms, to an understanding the pathophysiologic process at work, to treatment.

Features:

• Teaches major concepts using a system/problem-based approach
  
  
• Clinical examples help bridge basic science with the practice of clinical medicine
  
  
• Clear, high-quality illustrations enhance coverage and foster comprehension
