- BookAchilles J. Pappano, Withrow Gil Wier.Summary: "Gain a foundational understanding of cardiovascular physiology and how the cardiovascular system functions in health and disease. Cardiovascular Physiology, a volume in the Mosby Physiology Series, explains the fundamentals of this complex subject in a clear and concise manner, while helping you bridge the gap between normal function and disease with pathophysiology content throughout the book"--Publisher's description.

Interplay of central and peripheral factors that control the circulation.Digital Access ClinicalKey 2019 - ArticleYoung A, Edwards RH.Rheumatol Rehabil. 1977 Nov;16(4):231-5.The use of tests of muscle contractility based on electrically stimulated contractions means that information obtained from the more traditional tests of voluntary muscular performance and strength may be complemented by indices which are independent of volition and independent of muscle mass. Such tests are no longer limited to peripheral muscles but may now be applied to a large proximal muscle--the quadriceps femoris. This report describes the in vivo testing of a drug's pharmacological activity on the quadriceps muscle by a study of the relative forces produced by different frequencies of stimulation. It also illustrates that hypothyroidism is not the only endocrine disorder whose treatment may be monitored by measuring the speed of muscle relaxation. Finally, it describes a patient whose quadriceps weakness was explained by the demonstration of the failure of the muscle to maintain tension during prolonged stimulation.
