The circulatory system serves to transport essential substances to and remove waste products from tissue. Additionally, the circulatory system plays a critical role in body temperature, humoral communication, and complex regulation of oxygen homeostasis in a wide variety of physiologic states. This chapter seeks to elucidate common disease processes of the cardiovascular system.
