Description
Book SynopsisRadiofrequency Catheter Ablation of Cardiac Arrhythmias has been so extensively updated for its third edition that the book now features a new title:
Catheter Ablation of Cardiac Arrhythmias: Basic Concepts and Clinical Applications. The editors bring you 21 polished chapters, each updating the fundamentals and progressing to advanced concepts, providing state-of-the-art knowledge with highly relevant material for experienced electrophysiologists as well as fellows in training.
This streamlined new edition features:
Two new editors, both widely published and leaders in the field of catheter ablation
21 instead of 39 chapters, achieved by focusing on primary topics of broad interest and assimilating information from a wide range of sources
Fewer authors, chosen for their recognized contributions to the topics under discussion, providing a more integrated and coherent approach
Anatomic insights from leading pathologist Sie
