Biomedical, pharmaceutical and medical personnel are interested in studying aspects of arrhythmias at a basic, translational and applied level. The overall understanding of the molecular basis of disease has dramatically increased, as well as the number of available and emerging molecular, pharmacological and device treatment based therapies. Cardiac Electrophysiology Methods and Models will review key research methods and protocols in cardiac electrophysiology with a focus on advantages, pitfalls, practical implementation and collaborative cross-functional research.
