Books in the Clinical Approaches To Tachyarrhythmias series

An in-depth review of a still-expanding subject, presenting both updated information from the current literature and the personal experiences of the authors. The purpose of this book is to provide a comprehensive description of radiofrequency catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia.

In the course of understanding the mechanism and therapy of atrial tachycardia, important distinctions are emerging in electrophysical evaluations of various atrial arrhythmias. This is a review of the latest knowledge in the field.

Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome is recognized as an abnormality of cardiac rhythm that manifests as supraventricular tachycardia. This book covers its diagnosis by use of electrocardiography, its management and its near extinction in parts of the world reached by modern medicine.

The long QT syndrome has become the focus of considerable scientific attention because of the discovery of several genes responsible for its development. This book provides an account of this syndrome's history, significance. It shows why the long QT syndrome has been the focus for numerous theories of arrhythmogenesis.

Implantation of defibrillators has evolved dramatically since its introduction by Mirowski in 1980. Since the first implantation, a huge body of information on the impact of implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) on prognosis has become available. This title compliments the "CATA Series".

This text covers the spectrum of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathies, including basic information about the anatomical substrate, pathophysiologic mechanisms and clinical forms. Also discussed are a range of therapeutic tools.
