Synopsis
Please note that the $14.00 discount is a special pre-order price.
Catheter ablation is widely practiced as a definitive treatment for atrial fibrillation.
A major goal of this book is to encourage readers to further investigate electrogram interpretation in atrial fibrillation, and to foster their curiosity in deciphering the language of the electrogram.
The authors describe a pragmatic approach to the targeting of such electrograms, and provide what is believed to be the mechanism underlying specific activation patterns. This interpretation is confirmed in most cases by successful local ablation, as defined by a change in atrial fibrillation cycle length or termination of atrial fibrillation.
Highly illustrated with tracings, anatomical maps, and other figures, this book provides a detailed, well-illustrated guide which electrophysiologists and cardiologists will find indispensable.
