A new guide to the mechanisms and principles behind the world's most common abnormal heart rhythm Understanding Atrial Fibrillation begins by providing a detailed explanation of atrial fibrillation's causal mechanisms and builds its exploration from there. Working toward an up-to-date knowledge of the mapping and ablation of atrial fibrillation, its chapters assess the experimental data that has shaped current thoughts on the condition and then outline the best methods with which to interpret that rich but potentially difficult information.

A new guide to the mechanisms and principles behind the world's most common abnormal heart rhythm Understanding Atrial Fibrillation begins by providing a detailed explanation of atrial fibrillation's causal mechanisms and builds its exploration from there. Working toward an up-to-date knowledge of the mapping and ablation of atrial fibrillation, its chapters assess the experimental data that has shaped current thoughts on the condition and then outline the best methods with which to interpret that rich but potentially difficult information. This revelatory new guide: * Explores hypotheses of multiple drivers and mechanisms co-existing in individual patients * Addresses common misperceptions about atrial fibrillation * Describes the basic physiology of atrial fibrillation's propagation and reentry * Explores the various mechanisms and higher-order dynamics of fibrillation * Discusses how to intervene and alter atrial physiology to prevent fibrillation Understanding Atrial Fibrillation is truly an invaluable resource for physicians, fellows, residents, electrophysiology lab staff, and all other practitioners involved in the diagnosis and treatment of atrial fibrillation. "This book on atrial fibrillation is a must-read for any physician and/or investigator interested in studying the condition or caring for an AF patient. Dr. Spector takes a critical scientific approach to AF and its mechanisms. This book is a very welcome addition to the field." --Hugh Calkins, MD, Professor of Medicine, Director of Electrophysiology, Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions, Baltimore, MD, USA "Understanding Atrial Fibrillation is a gem. In less than 150 pages, I learned enough basic science about atrial fibrillation and its physiology to allow me to feel competent reviewing different approaches to its mapping and ablation. Peter Spector has an amazing knack for explaining complex physiology. This little book will sit on the top of my bookshelf." --Kenneth A. Ellenbogen, MD, Kimmerling Professor of Cardiology, VCU School of Medicine, Richmond, VA, USA "The excellent book Understanding Atrial Fibrillation by Dr. Peter Spector refreshingly explains atrial fibrillation as a scientific mystery; the text flows smoothly with sequences of questions and answers that read like a detective story that cannot be put down. From time to time, the reader is led to think that the culprit is found, only to discover in the following chapter that the evidence is not convincing enough and the investigation must continue. The book is a must-read for everyone, novice or expert, interested in developing a deeper understanding of atrial fibrillation." --Omer Berenfeld, PhD, Professor of Internal Medicine, Professor of Biomedical Engineering, Center for Arrhythmia Research, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, USA
