Cardiac Dynamics

Cardiac Dynamics edited by J. Baan, A.C. Arntzenius, E.L. Yellin.

Cardiac Dynamics is the name of a relatively young field of study, born from the fruitful interaction between branches of two different disciplines: medicine and physics. "Dynamics" is the branch of physics which deals with the action of forces on bodies or particles in motion or at rest....
