Download or read book Clinical Approaches to Tachyarrhythmias Mechanisms of Arrythmias written by Michiel J. Janse and published by Blackwell Publishing. This book was released on 1994-03-30 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Without knowledge of the target of arrhythmia treatment, the therapy cannot be aimed in the right direction. The key to successful treatment is an understanding of the mechanism of the arrhythmia. Knowing, for example, that conduction through the right bundle branch block is a critical component of bundle branch reentrant tachycardia identifies an easy target for ablation therapy. The aim of the Clinical Approaches to Tachyarryhthmias series is to update the physician, cardiologist, and all those responsible for the the care of patients with cardiac arrhythmias. Mechanisms of Arrhythmias provides the information the physician needs to recognize the mechanisms of a particular clinical arrhythmia. In a clear, readable manner, the author explores the complicated circumstances of transmembrane ion flux, impaired conduction, disturbed repolarization, and the generation of abnormal cardiac impulses.

Download or read book Clinical Aspects of Cardiac Arrhythmias written by A.J. Camm and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We were particularly pleased to compile this volume entitled 'Clinical Aspects of Cardiac Arrhythmias'. Recent years have seen the publication of many textbooks on cardiac arrhythmias, some of which concentrate on one particular aspect such as drug management, electrocardiographic appearances, electrophysiological evaluation etc; and others of which are the collated reports of symposia, often dealing with detailed con siderations of highly specialised problems. Most of the larger more comprehensive texts have devoted a substantial proportion to basic considerations and experimental observations, far removed from the clinical arena. When asked to contribute to the series 'Current Status of Clinical Cardiology' we felt that the clinical aspects of cardiac arrhyth mias should be emphasized, and that the text should be as comprehensive as possible within the limitations of a single volume in this series. This comprehensive but clinical approach has necessitated the inclusion of certain subjects such as the mechanisms of tachycardia, metabolic aspects of cardiac arrhythmias and reperfusion arrhythmias, which are not directly or exclusively clinical. However, the rapid advances in these areas in recent years are likely to have increasingly important clinical con seq uences. Although the epidemiology of clinical arrhythmias is difficult to dis cover, it is widely appreciated that arrhythmias are commonplace.
Download or read book Clinical Approaches to Tachyarrhythmias Ventricular Tachyarrhythmias in the Normal Heart written by John P. Bourke and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 1998-07-07 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most ventricular tachyarrhythmias are associated with some form of cardiac pathology, however, some forms, particularly right ventricular outflow tract tachycardia and fascicular tachycardia can occur in the normal heart. This places pressure on the electrophysiologist to distinguish benign forms from VTs caused by cardiomyopathy, myocarditis, congenital heart disease etc. The aim of the Clinical Approaches to Tachyarryhthmias series is to update the physician, cardiologist, and all those responsible for the the care of patients with cardiac arrhythmias. In this monograph, John Bourke and Colin Doig review our current understanding of normal heart ventricular tachycardia, and update the reader on how recent findings are enabling better physiological understanding, diagnosis and treatment of specific normal heart VTs.
Download or read book Cardiac Arrhythmias written by Ambrose S. Kibos and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-13 with total page 678 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers all the major aspects associated with pathophysiological development of cardiac arrhythmias (covering enhanced or suppressed automaticity, triggered activity, or re-entry), from basic concepts through disease association, limitations of current pharmacotherapy and implant therapies and on-going trials and analysis of new biomarkers based on current knowledge of cellular interaction and signalling. The book describes novel and state-of-the-art methods for differentiating between the major types of arrhythmia, structural abnormalities and current practice guidelines and determination of risk stratification associated with sudden cardiac death. A particular focus is on arrhythmias associated with atrial fibrillation and includes details of associations with cardiac disease, current detection, analysis and imaging and future perspectives.
Download or read book Electrocardiography of Clinical Arrhythmias written by Charles Fisch and published by Wiley-Blackwell. This book was released on 2000-07-26 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because arrhythmias can present in so many different forms, the only way to be certain of an interpretation is to understand the underlying ECG mechanism of arrhythmia. This is especially important in choosing a management strategy, as similar arrhythmias of differing origin may have vastly different therapies/treatments. Unfortunately, standard teaching methods can seem to divorce the theoretical knowledge required for diagnosis from the hands-on reading of ECGs. To achieve a balance of practicality and competency, the two parts of this book are equally divided between concrete example and didactic theory. Section I provides multiple ECG readings of the most commonly encountered simple and complex arrhythmias, and includes differential diagnosis where appropriate. These readings are presented with a minimum of theory, and are repetitively presented in multiple permutations, as they would be encountered in ECG reading room or on the wards. Section II provides a more in-depth discussion of ECG mechanisms and arrhythmogenesis. Attention is focused on the relevant underlying electrophysiology and the deductive processes used to reach the diagnoses of complex arrhythmias. This book can serve as a quick and handy reference for systematic, rule-based arrhythmic diagnoses, as well as an authoritative teaching text for learning the underlying theory and mechanics. It will be of great interest to students and clinicians at all levels, including cardiologists, electrophysiologists, and others who care for patients with cardiovascular disease, ICU and ER staff, emergency physicians, anesthesiologists, and surgeons.

This book was released on 2000-10-31 with total page 826 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our purpose in writing this book was to produce a clinically-oriented, non-multi-au thored textbook ofcardiac electrophysiology that would be useful to practicing electro physiologists, cardiologists, fellows in training as well as associated electrophysiology professionals, including nurses and technologists. While all clinical textbooks risk be coming outdated even before they're published, and few textbooks ofa manageable size can claim to be completely comprehensive, our goal was to produce a book that system atically presents a thorough discussion ofthe fundamental principles and concepts im portant to the practice of clinical electrophysiology. We do not discuss basic cellular electrophysiology for its sake alone, but instead include basic science material only when itis helpful in explaining the overlying clinical principles. Cardiac electrophysiology, as with any subspecialty, behaves as a living organism with continuous evolution of its standards and practices. However, even though the details and tools of management (catheters, drugs, devices, etc. ) may change with dazzling speed, the fundamental princi ples ofdiagnosis and management generally change very little and they remain the criti cal underpinning ofthe day-to-day management ofpatients with cardiac arrhythmias. In the first third ofthe book we present the principles ofclinical cardiac electrophysiolo gy as it is currently practiced.
