MORE ABOUT THIS BOOK
Main description:
The diagnosis and management of heart rhythm abnormalities is often viewed as a complex and inaccessible area of modern cardiology shrouded in technical detail. Fast Facts: Cardiac Arrhythmias demystifies the subject with a straightforward approach to rhythm abnormality, asking how the patient with arrhythmia presents, how the problem should be investigated and how the arrhythmia can be managed. Highlights include:
- A succinct description of normal conduction
- A simple classification of arrhythmias based on 12-lead ECG patterns
- A concise explanation of the mechanisms of arrhythmias with clear well-annotated illustrations
- A comprehensive review of presenting signs and symptoms, with key questions to ask the patient
- A logical approach to investigation: predict it (history and examination), wait for it (monitoring) or provoke it (electrophysiological testing)
- Practical information on management options: pharmacological therapy, direct cardioversion, catheter ablation and cardiac devices
- Specific chapters on the different types of arrhythmia
