This is the Seventh Edition of the comprehensive and well-respected text and reference of pathophysiology. As a nurse-physiologist, Carol Porth uniquely emphasizes "concepts" of altered health states, as opposed to factual descriptions of diseases and disorders. By taking this physiologic approach, the author ensures a comprehension of the whole of body function. By integrating all of the aspects of the human body into a total functional whole, the student can grasp both the physical and psychological aspects of altered health. A back-of-book CD-ROM includes three-dimensional animations of pathophysiology.

Patho Review:
The language of the book is hard. There are no pictures. The book is a good recienforcement of what is taught in class.
Review of Porth's Pathophysiology:
Porth's Pathophysiology provides a deeper look at the pathophysiology behind many health conditions. It is well written and interesting with helpful tables. There is a CD with animation that is helpful for seeing how the illness develops, but it is not as in depth as the text.
Pathophysiology Textbook:
This book has an amazing ability to take a complicated subject and explain it in easy-to-understand terms. Very helpful, even after the class is finished; I use this as a reference all the time.
