Clinical Exercise Testing
註釋Here's the extensively revised and updated New Edition of the classic text on clinical exercise testing. Readers will find a concise, state-of-the-art description of the physiology and biochemistry of exercise--and review today's understanding of the factors that limit exercise in a very broad spectrum of clinical disorders. Applications in diagnosis, therapy, and prognosis are all explored.
