Description
Many cardiologists believe that all sudden cardiac deaths are caused by thrombosis (clotting), and/or stenosis (narrowing of the vessels) when in reality many are caused by arrhythmia (disorders of rhythm). This text sets out to correct this assumption. A reference for cardiologists, it covers all aspects of sudden cardiac death and its prevention from epidemiology and pathology to surgery and cardiac transplantation, and discusses prediction and assessment of risk.
