Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A significantly expanded third edition, this book provides a comprehensive and concise overview of cardiac arrhythmias and their ECG/telemetry manifestations, including the principles of cardiac electrophysiology, current concepts of pharmacology, clinical features, diagnoses, and state-of-the-art treatments. Additionally, the book emphasizes decision-making strategies in approaching each individual patient and the application of technical innovations in specific clinical situations. Organized into eight parts, beginning chapters introduce the concepts and principles of cardiac electrophysiology, unique rhythms, and ECG waves/signs. These chapters are designed to integrate emerging knowledge in basic science and clinical medicine. Subsequent chapters focus on the diagnosis of a variety of cardiac arrhythmias using non-invasive methodology. Throughout the book, chapters continue to analyze pharmacological and other approaches to therapy of specific arrhythmias, including supraventricular tachycardias, atrial fibrillation and flutter, ventricular arrhythmias, and bradyarrhythmias. Finally, the book closes with coverage on inherited cardiac arrhythmia syndromes including the long, short QT, and J-wave syndromes, catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, and arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy. The third edition of Management of Cardiac Arrhythmias, is an essential resource for physicians, residents, fellows, and medical students in cardiology, cardiac surgery, vascular surgery, cardiac electrophysiology, and cardiac radiology.

Download or read book Cardiac Arrhythmia Contemporary Cardiology written by Rowan Cook and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-08 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cardiac arrhythmia or heart arrhythmia refers to a group of cardiac conditions, which is characterized by an irregular heartbeat. Arrhythmias can be of different types - supraventricular tachycardias, bradyarrhythmias, extra beats and ventricular arrhythmias. Arrhythmias are generally not considered serious but a person may become susceptible to complications such as heart failure or stroke, and cardiac arrest. Some common symptoms of arrhythmia are palpitations, which can be frequent, infrequent or continuous. If an arrhythmia causes a very fast, very slow or weak heartbeat, then lower blood pressure, light-headedness or dizziness are commonly experienced. Cardiac arrhythmias are generally detected during an auscultation of the heartbeat using a stethoscope, or by feeling peripheral pulses. The assessment of a cardiac abnormality using an electrocardiogram allows the diagnosis and evaluation of arrhythmia. Cardiac rhythm management can be achieved through medication, electro-cautery or cryo-cautery or by vagal maneuvres. Drugs such as anticoagulants and antiarrhythmics drugs may be prescribed. This book covers in detail the clinical perspectives in the development of cardiac arrhythmia. Different approaches, evaluations, methodologies and advanced studies on contemporary cardiology have been included herein. This is a collective contribution of a renowned group of international experts.

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.

This book was released on 2003 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This incisive handbook examines the persuasive evidence that neurohormonal activation causes cardiac remodeling. That evidence includes large-scale clinical trials in which neurohormonal blocking agents, such as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and -blockers, were given to heart failure patients. The handbook gives careful attention to the favorable impact that these agents have on the clinical course of heart failure patients and provides the basis for the use of these drugs for the treatment of heart failure.

This book was released on 2000-06-15 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The final decades of this century have been a period of expansive growth for the electrophysiological management of cardiac arrhythmias. Subsequently, the rapid and widespread clinical application of so many technological advances has made the exchange of ideas in this field an urgent necessity. Cardiac Arrhythmias and Device Therapy: Results and Perspectives for the New Century addresses the issue by gathering current, relevant information in a clear, user-friendly format. This book covers a broad spectrum of subjects, including basic electrophysiology (impulse propagation, subthreshold stimulation, genetics and the molecular base of arrhythmias), invasive and noninvasive clinical electrophysiology, and the clinical aspects of cardiac pacing and defibrillation. It provides a comprehensive review of various methods of treatment of atrial fibrillation, and of the role of pacing in prevention of atrial fibrillation and in treatment of congestive heart failure, dilated, hypertrophic, and restrictive cardiomyopathies. The results of recent clinical trials in cardiac pacing and in the prevention and treatment of malignant venticular arrhythmias are also presented. Special sections have been dedicated to the various aspects of preventing sudden death, including the use of internal and external defibrillation. Finally, the book offers a current review of "hot" topics, with personal experiences and critical evaluations by the world-renowned authors. This book will be of interest to all cardiologists, EP technicians, and health care personnel involved in the diagnosis and management of arrhythmias, who wish to gain a complete perspective on modern pacing and electrophysiology.
