Description
This monograph looks into the available methods of controlling cardiac arrhythmias. Material is presented in relation to the current ideas of cardiac electrophysiology, mechanisms of cardiac arrhythmias, how antiarrhythmic drugs work and how their actions are modulated by the autonomic nervous system. Although the main focus of the book is on control of arrhythmias by drug therapy, the editors have included information on non-pharmacologic approaches, including the growing importance of invasive modalities and their conjunctive use with anti-arrhythmic agents.

- Mechanism of cardiac arrhythmias
