Catheter Ablation of Cardiac Arrhythmias - A Practical Approach

This book on catheter ablation gives a comprehensive overview of the subject. It is a practical guide for exact diagnosis of cardiac arrhythmias, mapping of cardiac arrhythmias with newest 3D technology and catheter ablation of various arrhythmias from WPW syndrome to atrial fibrillation. Colored intracardiac tracings, as well as fluoroscopic and 3D mapping images, reflect the situation in the EP lab and will lead to the right diagnosis and successful ablation.

List of contents
