For a comprehensive treatment of the human cardiovascular system without the problematic issues you list, see the monographs of Loring Rowell:

Rowell, L. B. (1986). Human circulation. Regulation during physical stress. New York, Oxford University Press.

Rowell, L. B. (1993). Human cardiovascular control. New York, Oxford University Press.
