      A Complete Guide to Atrial Abnormalities: From Computational Analysis to Clinical Applications provides background on all atrial conditions, helps clinicians differentiate between the main atrial diseases, and illustrates the clinical implications of each. Research into atrial dysfunctions has stalled in recent years. However, this book presents important research and prognostic information on the different types of atrial disorders. These include: Interatrial block; Atrial Dyssynchrony; Atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter; Bayés syndrome; Atrial enlargement; Atrial failure.This book further illuminates atrial involvement in all heart conditions, including cardiogenetic diseases, channelopathies and cardiomyopathies. As population aging increases the epidemic of cardiovascular disease, correct assessment of specific atrial diseases is even more essential in providing patients the best possible care in every situation. A Complete Guide to Atrial Abnormalities: From Computational Analysis to Clinical Applications includes computer-based analyses which cover how targeted, personalized care using big data might improve diagnosis, treatment therapies, and prevention of atrial abnormalities. These innovations include increased understanding of rhythm/rate control, risk of stroke, drugs, structure, imaging, and devices.
