A Colour Atlas of Palpitation and Syncope

This atlas illustrates both the cardiac and non-cardiac causes of palpitation and syncope with particular reference made to the pathology and investigation of each condition. Since electrocardiagraphy is the fundamental investigation in diagnosing the exact cardiac arrhythmia responsible for each symptom a large number of electrocardiograms have been included. This book is aimed at physicians and general practitioners who are involved in any branch of general medicine, not only those who manage patients presenting with cardiac disorders. Palpitation and syncope are among the most common presenting symptoms in patients of all ages. Common and rare causes of those symptoms are illustrated.
