Main description:

The field of catheter ablation continues to advance with innovations in technology and a deeper understanding of the pathophysiology of arrhythmias. This comprehensive and unique book gives an inside look at leading electrophysiology labs throughout the world and provides the reader with practical knowledge and tips for ablation procedures directly from the experts themselves. Each chapter highlights the practical knowledge of the expert author with a specific procedure. "Hands-on" detail that helps translate new ideas and innovations into practice for the most state-of-the-art patient care. In-depth "how-to" approaches are described for over 50 procedures, including ablations for supraventricular tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, and ventricular tachycardia. A valuable reference for every electrophysiology lab to help differentiate diagnostic challenges. Fully illustrated with over 165 videos and 475 figures.
