Description
This is the only book entirely devoted to atrial flutter. It covers a broad range of both basic and clinical topics related to atrial flutter. The book is an in depth presentation of the state-of-art of what is know about atrial flutter, from the single cell to the whole patient. The book reviews practical as well as theoretical aspects of atrial flutter. Included are discussions of the current therapeutic techniques used to treat atrial flutter. They include drugs, catheter ablation, surgery, pacing and both internal and external cardioversion. The reader with an interest in arrhythmias, in general, and atrial flutter
