Blood Pressure and its Disorders, including Angina Pectoris

Abstract

THE first edition of this book by Prof. Plesch will be well known to most workers interested in this subject, and a second edition of it will be welcomed. Most of the chapters have been enlarged and some new ones have been added ; references to the literature and case-histories increase the value of the book, and suggestions made by readers of the first edition have been incorporated. The author says that he has dealt only with aspects of the subject of which he has had practical experience through research and observation, and that he does not intend to present the reader with a text-book. This note of personal experience is evident on every page. It is a book for the progressive and open-minded worker who shares its author‘s evident desire to understand thoroughly the origins of the diseases discussed and to relieve the suffering that they cause by treatment based upon this understanding.
