Overview

With nearly 1700 references, Disease Markers in Exhaled Breath is essential reading for pulmonologists; anesthesiologists; physiologists; chest, pulmonary, thoracic, and cardiovascular physicians and surgeons; asthmologists; and upper-level undergraduate, graduate, and medical school students in these disciplines. It discusses the potential diagnostic value of markers in several disorders including cancer, asthma, transplant rejection, and heart disease.
