Heart and Circulation
«
“Dr. Furst has commendably reviewed the origin and historical development of the heart-as-a-pump concept and amassed, as well, a very considerable weight of evidence undermining it and supporting an alternative model of the heart as an organ of impedance. This book will be particularly well received by all those who, like myself, experience a growing lack of confidence in the cardiocentric model of circulation. … I recommend this book to all open-minded cardiovascular physiology enthusiasts without reservation … .” (Anthony M. O’Leary, Anesthesiology, Vol. 124 (4), April, 2016)
“With this monograph Branko Furst succeeded to lay a foundation for a new physiology of the cardiovascular system. His excellent overview and presentation of a wide selection of topics is presented with clarity and depth of knowledge. … this book will serve as a basis for a more encompassing, specifically human cardiovascular physiology arising from the evolutionary-biologic model of circulation.” (Original book review in German language, Hans Christoph Kümmell, Der Merkurstab, Vol. 67 (3), 2014)
