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 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 The Wolff Parkinson White Syndrome written by Carlos A. Morillo and published by Wiley-Blackwell. This book was released on 1997-08-04 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome (WPW) is recognized as an abnormality of cardiac rhythm that manifests as supraventricular tachycardia. Few practitioners today appreciate how much the development of clinical cardiac electrophysiology owes to Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome. In the early 1960s, it became the test bed for electrophysiological theory and new therapies. Surgical electrophysiological techniques were developed, the pathways were severed, and the patient was often left with an entirely normal heart. This was an important first in modern cardiology - a complete cure. 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 volume, the authors unfold the story of WPW, its precise diagnosis by use of electrocardiography, its successful management and its near extinction in parts of the world reached by modern medical technology, and the remaining challenge it represents in pediatric medicine and in other parts of the globe.

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.

It is ideal for any hospital doctor, generalist, or even senior medical student who may need a cardiology opinion, or for that ma.
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.

Download or read book Catheter Ablation of Ventricular Tachycardia in Patients with Structural Heart Disease written by Martin Borggrefe and published by Wiley-Blackwell. This book was released on 2000-11-02 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The exact mechanism of a cardiac arrhythmia becomes fundamentally important when treatment can be directed specifically toward that mechanism. Advances in body surface electrograms and mapping techniques have allowed the causes of ventricular tachyarrhythmias to be pinpointed, thus suggesting viable targets for ablation therapy. However, substantial anatomical and electrophysiological knowledge and catheter-handling skills on the part of the physician are prerequisites for successful ablative technique. Catheter Ablation of Ventricular Tachycardia in Patients with Structural Heart Disease is an in-depth review of this 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 from history, basic concepts and pathophysiology of radiofrequency lesion formation, to clinical applications and outcomes of these techniques in various subsets of patients with ventricular tachycardia and underlying structural heart disease. Its 128 pages offer a succinct yet comprehensive exchange of information relative to this still-experimental and important field. This book will benefit readers including clinical electrophysiologists, cardiologists, allied industry, and other health care providers who work with patients suffering from ventricular tachycardia.
