Raviele, Antonio.editor.
Written by world-renowned leaders in the fields of clinical electrophysiology and arrhythmology, the volume has represented since many years a biannual update on the most recent advances in the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. The main chapters deal with atrial fibrillation and other supraventricular tachyarrhythmias, diagnosis and management of ventricular arrhythmias, risk stratification and prevention of sudden death in post-MI patients. The systematic and didactic approach to each topic makes the book a very useful tool for physicians working in the field.
Description based upon print version of record.
Preliminary; Right and Left Atrial Flutter: How To Differentiate Them on the Basis of Surface Electrocardiogram?; Atypical Atrial Flutter: How to Diagnose, Locate, and Ablate It; Catheter Ablation of Typical Atrial Flutter. What Are the Long-Term Results and Predictors of Recurrences?; Atrial Fibrillation After Ablation of Atrial Flutter: Who Is at Risk?; Electroanatomic Mapping to Support Ablation of Complex Supraventricular Arrhythmias: Does It Matter?; Idiopathic Atrial Fibrillation: Which Electrophysiological Substrate?
Inflammation and Infection: Underestimated Causes of Atrial Fibrillation?Atrial Remodelling: What Have We Learned in the Last Decade?; Atrial Fibrillation and Heart Failure: Does One Epidemic Feed the Other?; Atrial Fibrillation: What Is the Impact of the Different Therapies on Quality of Life?; 'Pill-In-The-Pocket' Approach for Outpatient Treatment of Recent Onset Atrial Fibrillation: The Obvious Solution?; Pharmacological Cardioversion of Atrial Fibrillation: Which Drugs Are Preferred, Class IC or Class III?; Early Recurrences of Atrial Fibrillation: How To Predict Them?
Dronedarone for Prevention of Atrial Fibrillation: An Unfulfilled Promise?Prognosis and Management of Atrial Fibrillation in Patients Without Structural Heart Disease; Primary Prevention of Atrial Fibrillation in Hypertensive Patients: What Is New from the LIFE Trial?; Prognosis and Management of Atrial Fibrillation in Different Clinical Settings: Acute Myocardial Infarction; Post-CABG Atrial Fibrillation: What Are the Incidence, Predictors, Treatment, and Long-Term Outcome?; Post-PCI Atrial Fibrillation: Possible Clinical and Prognostic Significance
Perioperative Interruption of Warfarin: How Effective and Safe Is Bridging Therapy with Low-Molecular-Weight Heparin?How Safe Is Anticoagulant Therapy in Older Patients and What Should Be the INR Target?; Oral Antithrombin Agents: Will They Replace Warfarin?; Guidelines for Anticoagulation of Atrial Fibrillation: Is It Time for an Update?; Anatomy of the Left Atrium and Pulmonary Veins: What Have We Learned in Recent Years?; Imaging in Arrhythmic Syndromes: What Is the Role of Cardiac Radiology?; Value of Transoesophageal Echocardiography for the Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation
Value of the LocaLisa Non-fluoroscopic Mapping System in the Ablation of Atrial FibrillationLinear Atrial Lesions Should Always Be Performed in Addition to Circumferential Pulmonary Vein Isolation; Systematic Electrical Disconnection of Superior Vena Cava in Addition to Pulmonary Vein Ablation: Is It Worthwhile?; What Is the Outcome of Atrial Fibrillation Ablation in Patients with Left Ventricular Dysfunction?; Complications of Atrial Fibrillation Ablation: How to Prevent and Manage Cerebrovascular Accidents; Pulmonary Vein Stenosis After Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation
