Description: In this update of the 1997 edition, Dr. Hyatt (emeritus, medicine and physiology, Mayo Medical School) and his associates cover clinical aspects of tests they consider to be under-utilized given that chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a leading cause of death in the US. The volume concludes with 26 illustrative cases with questions and answers. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
