Beschreibung

Written by leading international experts in cardiac electrophysiology and ablation, and respresents the most contemporary information available on the subject. Each chapter incorporates and reflects the skills accumulated by individual contributors over many years of ablation practice, in some cases dating back to the original, groundbreaking work in ablation over 20 years ago. The book is larger than the first edition, with more and longer chapters, and is replete with figures that explain the individual approaches, including full color examples of relevant imaging techniques. The style is brief and succinct and extremely readable, so that informatin can be digested in a short time.

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"Since the publication of the first edition of this book eight years ago, considerable new information has been acquired about mechanisms of arrhythmias, pathways and sites for ablation, and techniques of ablation. Publication of the second edition is, therefore, timely and contemporary. With chapters contributed by well recognized international experts in arrhythmia management, the book is a practical and useful reference for physicians engaged in catheter ablation. It brings together presentations made at Bordeaux Symposium held in May 2001. Of particular interest to the basic scientist are mechanisms of reentrant arrhythmia, especially ventricular tachycardia, studied in experimental, perfused preparations. Chapters on minimal electrophysiological assessment and mapping techniques before ablation are brief but informative. Curative treatment of atrial fibrillation, a challenge for the last decade, has been described succinctly, focussing both on pulmonary venous as well as linear ablation techniques. Adequate emphasis has also been laid on typical and atypical atrial flutter and focal atrial tachycardias, written individually in separate chapters. The classic arrhythmias for which catheter ablation was initiated, viz, atrioventricular nodal reentry, accessory pathways and Mahaim fibres are also well represented. The approach to ventricular tachycardia related to structural heart disease, with its attendant complexities, and advances in newer mapping techniques, is comprehensively described. Finally, as the emotional impact of our ability to abolish conduction over accessory pathways still holds, ventricular fibrillation is the new, emerging challenge. The book has clear and concise figures, including coloured examples of relevant imaging techniques. The style is very readable; the information can be absorbed easily. It is certainly an important addition to the current knowledge about the source and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias." Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal Kamal K Sethi, MD, DM, FACC Director, Interventional Cardiology and Arrhythmia Service, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, New Delhi, India www.ipej.org Four Stars **** "This book covers the entire spectrum of radiofrequency ablation in various arrhythmias...This is an important book. Radiofrequency ablation has revolutionized electrophysiology and changed it from a technique of diagnosis and mechanisms to an active treatment modality. Drugs are no longer necessarily the first choice for arrhythmias, especially since the CAST Study (1989). The use of steerable catheters and Carto mapping, as well as noncontact mapping has helped advance this technique. Radiofrequency ablation has a favorable safety/efficacy ratio. The basic technique is likely to be around for awhile. The next step is transdermal radiofrequency ablation. This is a worthwhile addition to the literature." Doody's Review Service
