Description

The past decade has witnessed major advances in therapeutic options to treat and cure tachyarrhythmias. This book is born of the opinion that the safest and most successful therapeutic alternatives require a thorough understanding of tachycardia mechanisms, sites of origin and natural history. With contributions from leading experts, this book focuses on the methodologies required to achieve a basic understanding of arrhythmia mechanism.
