This companion monograph to West's Respiratory Physiology explores normal respiratory function and the pathophysiology of the diseased lung. It provides a concise overview of lung disease states, focusing on the interplay between structure and function. The eighth edition incorporates new information on asthma therapies, updated radiographs and micrographs, expanded sections on infections and cancer, and more detailed explanations for review questions. A new summary appendix of equations with sample calculations is also included.
