Description
This revised edition offers guidance on evaluation and management of atrial fibrillation and describes pharmacological, electrophysical, and surgical therapies. Coverage includes revised chapters on echocardiography, anti-coagulant therapy, and catheter ablation, and new chapters on atrial flutter, basic electrophysiology of antiarrhythmic drugs, implantable atrial defibrillators, and conduction through the atrioventricular node. Also included are chapters on decision analysis in the treatment of atrial fibrillation and on the special problems of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
