Paolo Salvi

2012

I am delighted to introduce Paolo Salvi’s volume on Pulse Waves, brilliantly summarizing the haemodynamics of hypertension and its implications for treatment. This is indeed a happy occasion for considering once more the variable approaches by which scientific knowledge advances, that is by the elaboration of complex models, to be subsequently simplified just to acknowledge that new factors and terms have to be entered to make the model match the realty.
