Cardiac Mechano-Electric Coupling and Arrhythmias

Beschreibung

Ranging from stretch-activated ion channels to mechanically induced arrhythmias and mechanical interventions for heart rhythm correction, this new edition offers a thoroughly reviewed compendium of chapters, written by the top-experts in the world, on the mechanism and consequences of cardiac mechano-electrical coupling.

Autor

Peter Kohl is a Senior Fellow of the British Heart Foundation and director of the Oxford Cardiac Mechano-Electric Feedback lab. He obtained his university degrees in medicine and in biophysics at the Medico-Biological Faculty of the Moscow Pirogov Institute, earned PhD and Facharzt (registrar) titles in Physiology while working at the Charite Hospital in Berlin and, in 1992, joined the British Heart Foundation Chair of Denis Noble at Oxford, to set up studies into cardiac mechano-electric cross-talk, then focussing on the contribution of cardiac non-myocytes. Peter's team actively develops new experimental and theoretical models for research into the structural and functional basis of cardiac mechano-sensitivity. He has published over 150 original papers, reviews and book chapters, and edited multiple focussed journal issues.
