Cardiovascular Complications of Respiratory Disorders

Edited by Miguel Ángel Martínez-García, Jean-Louis Pépin and Mario Cazzola
This Monograph provides an update on cardiovascular disease complications and treatment implications for respiratory diseases, based on current scientific evidence and considered from an epidemiological, pathophysiological and clinical point of view. This book also discusses the true challenges when studying the complex relationship between these two groups of disorders.
