Description
Book SynopsisThis new edition of Essential Cardiac Electrophysiology: The Self-Assessment Approach continues the successful formula of the first edition, providing a concise and thorough overview of Electrophysiology supplemented by challenging questions readers can use to test their knowledge and prepare for examinations.
Comprehensively updated and significantly expanded to include the latest recommendations, findings from leading-edge research, emergent diagnostic tools, and new therapeutic options, Essential Cardiac Electrophysiology: The Self-Assessment Approach now offers coverage of some of hottest topics in EP, including:
HCN channels; Congenital, and paroxysmal AV blocks; Left atrial flutter; Electrophysiologic assessment of AVNRT and AVRT; VT ablation; Short QT syndrome; Early repolarization and ventricular fibrillation; Aortic cusp VT; Commotio Cordis, and more.
Fact-based and clinically-focused, Essential Cardiac Electrophysiology: The Self-Assessment Approach is
Trade Review
“This is an excellent reference for clinicians training in and practicing clinical cardiac electrophysiology. The bullet-point format and numerous tables and graphics make the wealth of information simple to process and recall.” (Doody’s, 26 July 2013)
