A classic from the long-running Lange series of medical textbooks has stayed dumbed down in a new edition despite previous reviews pointing this out. I have many previous editions of Ganong. This edition has grown in size (now 8 x 11 inches instead of the more portable books) but contains both less material and less detail. Two previous editions (post Dr. Ganong's death) are mediocre and this edition remains so.

I have already found an error and I'm only on page 9. Very disappointing so far. I've reviewed a couple of the cardiac chapters and found another mistake. Page 550 "basal o2 consumption by the myodcardium is about 2 ml/100gm/min. This value is considerably higher that that of resting skeletal muscle." Top of page 551 "the blood flow of resting skeletal muscle is low (2-4 ml/100g/min)." ?????

The classic cardiac cycle diagram has been deprived of detail, so that the depiction of isovolumic contraction and relaxation are not clearly shown in relation to cardiac events. There is only a brief discussion of cardiac excitation-contraction physiology in the "excitable muscle" chapter, but not in the cardiac chapters with a relevant discussion of phospholamban and cardiac drugs.

The respiratory section is barely adequate, not more. I'd suggest purchasing the Lange Pulmonary Physiology by Levitzky for a much more thorough section here. The one paragraph clinical descriptor of sleep apnea scarcely does justice to this huge and growing clinical problem.

It is sad to see an old classic go to waste.

I am disappointed that such a famous textbook expects to teach with convoluted sentences, yet is still mandatory reading for many specialty training programs. One longs for "familiar subject-active verb-object with tricky stuff at the end" but such clarity is rare. Some chapters are better than others- I found endocrine and gut more straight forward, but renal and respiratory wander all over the shop. Although I am no expert, I think I have found two errors by page 7, (osmolality as a number per kg on pg 5 then expressed as mOsmol/L on the next....then the 'cross multiplication' of the diffusible ion ratios is written as two sums.....) I tell my students to look up the physiology in Katzung's Pharmacology.
Please re-write, remove the distractors, eradicate the complex introductory clauses and put the important verb early.
