Produktbeschreibung

Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation of Cardiac Arrhythmias has been so extensively updated for its third edition that the book now features a new title: Catheter Ablation of Cardiac Arrhythmias: Basic Concepts and Clinical Applications. The editors bring you 21 polished chapters, each updating the fundamentals and progressing to advanced concepts, providing state of the art knowledge with highly relevant material for experienced electrophysiologists as well as fellows in training. Leading pathologist Siew Yen Ho provides important anatomic insights, which are integrated with new information from imaging technologies. All chapters include practical how-to tips and a review of potential pitfalls, allowing you to benefit from the experience of the leaders in catheter ablation. This streamlined new edition of Catheter Ablation of Cardiac Arrhythmias will remain the leading text for all clinicians in the field.
