Basic Cardiac Electrophysiology for the Clinician, Second Edition

Description

This book translates fundamental knowledge in basic cardiac electrophysiology from the bench to the bedside. Revised and updated for its second edition, the text offers new coverage of the molecular mechanisms of ion channel behavior and its regulation, complex arrhythmias, and the broadening roles of devices and ablation. Clear, straightforward explanations are illustrated by plentiful diagrams to make the material accessible to the non-specialist.Content: Chapter 1 Bioelectricity (pages 7–42): Chapter 2 Ion Channels (pages 43–71): Chapter 3 Ion Channel Regulation (pages 72–91): Chapter 4 Impulse Initiation and Propagation in Cardiac Muscle (pages 92–120): Chapter 5 Rate Dependency of Discontinuous Propagation (pages 121–151): Chapter 6 Basic Mechanisms of Cardiac Arrhythmias (pages 152–190): Chapter 7 Rotors, Spirals, and Scroll Waves in the Heart (pages 191–223): Chapter 8 Rotors and the Mechanisms of Atrial Fibrillation (pages 224–253): Chapter 9 Molecular Mechanisms of Ventricular Fibrillation (pages 254–275): Chapter 10 Inheritable Arrhythmogenic Diseases (pages 276–315):
