Electrical Disease of the Heart, 2nd Edition, volume 1, provides a valuable insight to the latest developments in the field of cardiac electrophysiology and clinical electrocardiology. Each chapter includes up-to-date results of studies aimed at providing an understanding of the electrical function of the heart in health and disease, established and evidence-based knowledge of clinical outcomes, areas of controversy, and future trends. This book is highly relevant to a broad audience, ranging from medical and graduate students, to clinicians and scientists.
In its 2nd Edition, this book offers valuable insight into current developments in cardiac electrophysiology and clinical electrocardiology. Covers established and evidence-based knowledge of clinical outcomes, areas of controversy and future research trends.
