David J. Wiber, MD is the editor of Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation of Cardiac Arrhythmias: Basic Concepts and Clinical Applications, 2nd Edition, published by Wiley. Klappentext Since its inception in the mid-1980s, this therapeutic procedure has evolved to become an indispensable therapeutic modality in the treatment of arrhythmias. Now there is a "cure" without surgery. This text provides a comprehensive description of radiofrequency catheter ablation of cardiac arrhythmias from basic concepts of biophysics and pathophysiology of radiofrequency lesion formation to clinical application of the technique in every aspect of arrhythmia ablation. Each chapter provides an indepth review of the topic, including the most current information and references Zusammenfassung organized into 7 sections and 33 chapters written by world experts in the field of radiofrequency catheter ablation of cardiac arrhythmias provide a thorough and useful understanding of radiofrequency catheter ablation and its efficacy.
