Description

Eight years have passed since the publication of the first edition of Catheter Ablation of Arrhythmias, hailed by the journal Circulation as "one of the most practical and useful books available dealing with the topic of catheter ablation…a "must have" reference…" In that time, new techniques have developed, new ablative pathways discovered, new mechanisms identified, and the skills and experience of the authors have grown. Catheter Ablation of Arrhythmias, Second Edition is written by leading international experts in cardiac electrophysiology and ablation, and represents the most contemporary information available on the subject. Each chapter incorporates and reflects the skills accumulated by individual contributors over many years of ablation practice, in some cases dating back to the original, groundbreaking work in ablation over 20 years ago. The book is larger than the first edition, with more and longer chapters, and is replete with figures that explain the individual approaches, including full color examples of relevant imaging techniques. The style is brief and succinct and extremely readable, so that information can be digested in a short time. Ablative techniques are not simply a method of treating arrhythmias, but also an important source of knowledge about the source and mechanisms of cardiac arrhythmias. Curative treatment of atrial fibrillation represents a promising challenge for the new millennium. Cardiologists and electrophysiologists will find this book provides able assistance in meeting that challenge.
