Indeed, Lewis Dexter, one of my mentors, told me about his first, accidental catheterization of the pulmonary artery.

Hypertension in the Elderly
ISBN: 9789048144082 / Angielski / Miękka / 150 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. As the life expectancy of patients with arterial hypertension increases, hypertension in the elderly is becoming a relevant medical and social problem. Indeed, epidemiological trials have shown that the cardiovascular risk in elderly hypertensives is significantly higher than in normotensive subjects of comparable age. However, many characteristics of hypertension in the elderly, such as the haemodynamic pattern, do differ greatly from those of younger hypertensives and therefore the results obtained in younger patients cannot be extrapolated to older hypertensives.
In this book,... As the life expectancy of patients with arterial hypertension increases, hypertension in the elderly is becoming a relevant medical and social problem...
