Synopsis
Ventricular arrhythmias and sudden death are responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths each year throughout the world. Covering the most recent developments in this field, this leading text serves as a guide to this area of increasing clinical importance, addressing a wide range of topics, including:
- basic mechanisms of ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation
- clinical syndromes and etiologies
- epidemiology and risk stratification
- pharmacologic therapy
- ablation and surgery
- implantable defibrillators.
Ventricular Arrhythmias and Sudden Cardiac Death provides the information that cardiologists, cardiac electrophysiologists, cardiac electrophysiology fellows, scientists, industry, and associated professionals need to know about current and evolving Ventricular Tachyarrhythmia treatment and diagnosis. As the most comprehensive book on this topic, it will serve as the text that this readership will turn to first.

Reviewer:hugh m parker, M.D. (Ochsner Clinic Foundation)
Description:This comprehensive book provides detailed insight into the mechanisms and treatment of ventricular arrhythmia. It also provides a thorough overview of both the genetically determined and acquired syndromes that lead to the development of ventricular arrhythmia.
Purpose:The goal is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the complex mechanisms of life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias, as well as the role of the increasingly effective technologic innovations used in their diagnosis and treatment.
Audience:It is written mainly for those with a primary interest in electrophysiology and for cardiologists or investigators with a high level of interest in the cellular mechanics of cardiac arrhythmia.
Features:This book addresses the topic from a diverse set of perspectives. Numerous authors with a broad array of interests and experience contribute to the book, providing a scientific milieu that begins with a rather esoteric review of the cellular mechanics and genetic mutations that predispose an individual to ventricular arrhythmia, then leading into concrete descriptions of how this understanding has been converted into diagnostic and therapeutic technology. Further, it spans a diverse array of disciplines, incorporating the role of advanced imaging modalities, such as cardiac MRI, and computer-assisted endocardial and epicardial electrocardiographic mapping, as well as more traditional diagnostic technologies.
Assessment:This is a well designed primer on the intricate mechanisms of ventricular arrhythmias and on the modalities availablefor diagnosis and treatment of patients. Written by eminent authors with experience in both the clinic and the laboratory, it provides a valuable synthesis of current perspectives on state-of-the-art in the field.
