About this book

This book covers all the major aspects associated with pathophysiological development of cardiac arrhythmias (covering enhanced or suppressed automaticity, triggered activity, or re-entry), from basic concepts through disease association, limitations of current pharmacotherapy and implant therapies and on-going trials and analysis of new biomarkers based on current knowledge of cellular interaction and signalling. The book describes novel and state-of-the-art methods for differentiating between the major types of arrhythmia, structural abnormalities and current practice guidelines and determination of risk stratification associated with sudden cardiac death. A particular focus is on arrhythmias associated with atrial fibrillation and includes details of associations with cardiac disease, current detection, analysis and imaging and future perspectives.​

Reviews

From the reviews:

“This book encompasses the progress in the field of cardiac arrhythmias over the past decades. … Designed for a broad audience from trainees to seasoned electrophysiologists, the book is able to educate such an audience through comprehensive information from basic anatomy of arrhythmias and diagnostic methods to advanced, up-to-date options of treatment. … This book is an excellent and comprehensive resource for anyone interested in improving their understanding and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias.” (Daniel Masvidal, Doody’s Book Reviews, April, 2014)
