KEY FEATURES
• Presents physiologic concepts, pathogenetic and pathophysiologic
mechanisms, and radiologic and pathologic correlates of disease in a clear,
understandable manner.
• Features extensive content updates on interstitial lung disease, emerging
and/or viral infections (including COVID-19), lung cancer, asthma, and new
biologic and immunologic treatments available for a variety of diseases.
• Contains excellent visuals for understanding and interpreting pulmonary
disease with easy-to-understand anatomic illustrations and accompanying
radiologic and pathophysiologic images—now all in full color for the first

and CT scans, that offer more examples of clinical disorders.
• Provides therapeutic strategies, including evidence for assessing relative
benefits, harms, and costs.
• Includes useful appendices that provide simplified methods for interpreting
pulmonary function tests and arterial blood gases, while also presenting
sample problems that test the reader’s ability to use respiratory equations,
assess pulmonary function abnormalities, and interpret arterial blood
gases.
• Provides access to extensive online content such as author commentaries,
video clips, audio recordings of lung sounds, and over 200 case-based self-
assessment questions modeled after the USMLE exam.
• Includes margin notes throughout the text that summarize the major points
and concepts and allow the reader to quickly review the material.
