This companion monograph to West's Respiratory Physiology, which looks at normal respiratory function, focuses instead on the function of the diseased lung. The text offers a concise overview of the disease states of the lung, emphasizing structure and function. For the Sixth Edition, the basic science will be updated to reflect advances in pulmonary pathophysiology in the last five years, including pulmonary function tests, pathophysiology of asthma, pulmonary edema, pulmonary hypertension, air pollution by aerosols, oxygen therapy, and mechanical ventilation. A second interior color is also new to this edition. Intended for second-year medical students taking system-based pathophysiology courses, this book will also prove useful to students in clerkship/rotation.

The Second Edition of Pulmonary Physiology and Pathophysiology presents normal and abnormal pulmonary function in the same case-based format that has made the first edition a favorite among students. Each chapter begins with a clinical case study of diseases typically seen by practitioners. The cases are followed by a discussion and breakdown of the physiology, pathophysiology, anatomy, pharmacology, and pathology for each disease, and a question-and-answer section. This edition has an infectious diseases chapter, updates on asthma pathogenesis and bronchodilators, and user-friendly features such as chapter openers, chapter outlines, "key points" summary boxes, and board-formatted questions and answers.
