Publisher Description
This book provides an introductory overview of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with a special focus on the role of the perfusionist. Designed primarily for undergraduate students, especially those in the early stages of their academic training, it presents essential concepts in a clear and structured manner.
The text covers the basic anatomy and physiology of the heart, the pathophysiology of coronary artery disease, and the principles of surgical revascularization. Detailed attention is given to cardiopulmonary bypass, the heart–lung machine, myocardial protection, and the responsibilities of the perfusionist before, during, and after bypass.
Written in simple language with an emphasis on understanding rather than memorization, this book aims to help students appreciate how theoretical knowledge is applied in real clinical settings. It is intended to act as a foundation text for perfusion students and as a supplementary reference for other allied health science learners interested in cardiac surgery.
