      Ce livre présente sous une forme synthétique les notions fondamentales qui permettent de comprendre la structure et les mécanismes de régulation et d'adaptation de l'homme en activité physique. La place du sport dans l'éducation du jeune enfant est primordiale et sa pratique doit être guidée suivant des principes de précaution. Chez l'adolescent, la pratique sportive se révèle tout aussi capitale dans la mesure où la sollicitation des fonctions cardiaque et circulatoire forge ce que sera le cœur de l'adulte mature. Dès lors, la rédaction d'un chapitre nouveau sur l'enfant à l'exercice s'imposait aux auteurs. Entièrement actualisée, cette sixième édition expose au lecteur les connaissances de base sur l'énergétique, la mécanique et la biochimie musculaire, traite des adaptations cardiaques et respiratoires, métaboliques et endocriniennes, et enfin, propose d'étudier les méthodes d'évaluation de l'aptitude physique, en milieux normal ou spécifique (chaleur, altitude, plongée). Cet ouvrage s'adresse tout d'abord aux acteurs de la médecine du sport, mais aussi aux médecins du travail et aux ergonomes, aux étudiants de ces disciplines et aux kinésithérapeutes.

      Atrial fibrillation is the most common sustained arrhythmia in humans. An incredible worldwide effort from physicians, scientists and industry over the last decade has brought forth new insights and therapeutic tools. We are fortunate to have achieved a level of understanding about this complex disease that we can indeed cure some patients. While we proceed at full speed ahead looking for cures for the rest, we have taken this opportunity in the Medical Clinics of North America to reflect on how much we have learned and on the task that lies ahead. This issue opens with a historical perspective, discusses many of the clinical issues in the management of atrial fibrillation, such as cardioversion, anticoagulation and ablation, and concludes with the current guidelines for treatment and a view of the future.
