Training for cardiac surgeons and electrophysiologists in performing procedures for arrhythmia management can be long, and often depends on the inconsistent availability of local experts. Yet, there are currently no books which explicate the full range of surgical approaches to these ailments. This book provides a visual aid, with appropriate figures and videos, to help surgeons, cardiologists, and allied professionals grasp the anatomical, electrophysiological, and technical complexities traditionally available in hands-on training.
This book fills the void between accumulated research and its practical application in clinical settings. It will be a welcome resource for professionals with difficult cases who require independent education on how to treat them.
- Provides a state-of-the-art, practical text written by world renowned experts for cardiac surgeons and electrophysiologists approaching the new field of surgical arrhythmia management
- Fills the gap in books (and ameliorates the general paucity of experts available) for hands-on training in the discipline’s anatomical, electrophysiological and technical complexities
- Serves as a detailed visual aid, with appropriate figures and videos to help surgeons, cardiologists, and allied professionals view the latest in surgical procedures for cardiac arrhythmias
Cardiac surgeons, cardiologists, allied professionals in electrophysiology, General cardiologists, anesthesiologists, intensive care specialists
