Clinical arrhythmology and electrophysiology. Supplement to the guide on cardiovascular medicine.

This edition is a supplement to the famous Y. Braunwald's "Heart Disease" guide. A large number of illustrations and over 70 images will keep you informed about modern technologies and diagnostic research, new information on molecular genetics, achievements in the field of ablation, and much more. The book provides detailed descriptions of the latest diagnostic and treatment methods for patients with arrhythmias, with types of arrhythmias uniformly described for quick reference. Clinical observations are presented, including hereditary channelopathies, atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy, and congenital heart defects. Clinical management methods for complex patients are based on fundamental scientific principles. Video images illustrate key mapping methods, X-rays demonstrate the positioning of electrophysiological catheters, punctures of the interatrial septum, access to the pericardium, cryoablation, and procedures for isolating the left atrial appendage. The publication is intended for a wide range of specialists dealing with functional problems of cardiovascular diseases and clinical practice issues.
