Description

* Covers the atrial fibrillation (AF) epidemic
* Elucidates poorly understood mechanisms of atrial fibrillation
* Examines which treatment strategy for AF is best
* Chapters are written by internationally recognized experts in cardiac electrophysiology

Advancements in the treatment and prevention of Atrial Fibrillation are presented in this important new book. Atrial Fibrillation affects approximately 2.5 million individuals in the United States and is projected to affect 15 million individuals by 2050. In Atrial Fibrillation: From Bench to Bedside, the reader is provided with the latest information that is critically important in the daily care and for the potential cure of patients with Atrial Fibrillation. Each chapter deals with a different aspect of Atrial Fibrillation and was authored by internationally recognized experts in the evolving field of cardiac electrophysiology. This book is a single source that provides a multi-perspective look at and approach to Atrial Fibrillation. Because Atrial Fibrillation is so prevalent and affects all areas of medicine, the information in this book will be useful to cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, researchers, and all those in the medical field.
Written for:

Cardiologists, internists, cardiology fellows and clinical electrophysiologists, surgeons, interventional radiologists
Keywords:

* Atrial fibrillation
* Cardiac arrythmia
* Cardiac electrophysiology
* Catheter ablation
* Surgical ablation
