Practical Cardiac Electrophysiology

<p>Electrophysiology studies test the electrical activity of the heart to determine the source of an arrhythmia.</p> <p>This book is a comprehensive guide to cardiac electrophysiology providing a thorough understanding of the mechanisms of arrhythmias and therapeutic interventions used in their treatment.</p> <p>Beginning with an introduction to cardiac electrophysiology and the fundamentals of cardiac anatomy, imaging, mapping and ablation, the following sections cover the diagnosis and management of different types of arrhythmia.</p> <p>The final section discusses miscellaneous topics including entrainment, provocative drug testing in the electrophysiology lab, and catheter ablation in children.</p> <p>The book is highly illustrated with nearly 300 images and tables and each chapter concludes with a summary highlighting the main points of the topic and offers suggestions for further reading.<br> <br> </p> <p>Key points</p> <ul> <li>Comprehensive guide to diagnosis and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias</li> <li>Provides thorough overview of cardiac anatomy, imaging, mapping and ablation</li> <li>Includes other topics such as provocative drug testing and catheter ablation in children</li> <li>Highly illustrated with nearly 300 images and tables</li> </ul>
