Management of Cardiac Arrhythmias 2nd Edition (Contemporary Cardiology Series)

It is safe to say that few areas of medicine have moved faster than cardiac electrophysiology. The price to pay for such rapid expansion of information is an ever-widening knowledge gap. It is obvious that practitioners who spend their time caring for patients find it difficult to keep up with the latest developments in our field. The number of articles and journals that come across our desks every month is mind numbing. And few have the sophistication to understand the myriad of discoveries that are unwrapped at each of our congresses. Clearly there is a need to have complex informationpresented in an efficient and user-friendly way.
This book provide standard, proceeding from basic scienceto diagnostic and therapeutic techniques, before ending in a discussion of specific patient types and syndromes. Its feature issues that will be of continuing interest in this field over the next few years in order to provide a frame of reference for journal reading. It have kept the level of science high to appeal to physicians and health-care professionals, or those in training, who have a deep interest in cardiac arrhythmias.
