Synopsis

This book describes the main cardiac arrhythmias, with particular emphasis on the problems commonly encountered in their interpretation, and discusses the practical aspects of current methods of investigation and treatment. Information of purely academic value has not been included. The book is intended to fill the gap between those textbooks that cover only the basics of arrhythmias and those that are written for the cardiac electrophysiologist. It has been written with junior hospital doctors in mind. They receive little formal training in the mangement of cardiac arrhythmias and yet, because prompt action is often required, the onus of diagnosis and treatment usually falls on them. It should also be of interest to medical students who will soon be responsible for dealing with arrhythmias, to nurses working in coronary and intensive care units and to physicians who want a brief review of the practical aspects of cardiac arrhythmias.

A propos du livre

Through its previous editions, Cardiac Arrythmias has become established as a highly respected practical guide to the interpretation and treatment of cardiac rhythm disturbances. For this sixth edition,the content has been updated throughout, with increased emphasis on physical interventions and more information on sudden cardiac death and its prevention. The latest information on current pharmacological treatments and new therapies in development are also included.

The book will continue to provide invaluable advice to junior doctors, coronary care nurses, higher level medical students and general physicians requiring a ready reference to this important subject.
