The second edition of Clinical Arrhythmology provides a fresh, clear, and authoritative overview that will guide readers from a solid understanding of the mechanisms behind cardiac arrhythmias - which is fundamental to their identification - to diagnosis via electrocardiograms and other tools, to specific management options for each of the arrhythmias that cardiologists and other clinicians will encounter in clinical practice. With numerous illustrations simplifying concepts, this updated edition provides a practical and easily referable resource. Providing a thorough overview of clinical arrhythmology this title is designed to help general clinical cardiologists and trainees in the fields of clinical cardiology and electrophysiology to achieve the competency they need for clinical practice or for further specialization in the topics covered in the book. * Organized in a clear, intuitive manner; introducing the reader to an understanding of the anatomical and electrophysiological bases of arrhythmias, then to a comprehensive review of how to diagnose the full range of rhythmic abnormalities, and then to a discussion of specific clinical syndromes in which arrhythmias play a part * Highly illustrated chapters ensure key concepts are simpler to understand * Detailed appendices provide quick reference values for diagnostic and therapeutic techniques, pharmacotherapeutic agents, and recommendations This book provides general clinical cardiologists and fellows in cardiology and electrophysiology; electrophysiologists with an ideal resource for understanding clinical arrhythmias and providing optimal patient care.Hinweis: Dieser Artikel kann nur an eine deutsche Lieferadresse ausgeliefert werden.
