Atrial Fibrillation Update: A Textbook of Cardiology by HK Chopra,Gurpreet S Wander,Praveen Chandra,Viveka Kumar Pdf

Atrial fibrillation is a heart condition that causes an irregular and often abnormally fast heart rate. It can cause problems including dizziness, shortness of breath and tiredness and a patient may be aware of noticeable heart palpitations, where the heart feels like it is pounding, fluttering or beating irregularly, often for a few seconds or, in some cases, a few minutes (NHS Choices). This comprehensive guide presents clinicians with the latest developments in the diagnosis and management of atrial fibrillation. Divided into seven sections, the book covers clinical spectrum, diagnosis, therapeutic strategies, interventions, and new technologies used in its treatment and prevention. Complete sections are dedicated to other arrhythmias, to cardiac surgery and to future directions in atrial fibrillation. With more than 1000 pages providing in depth coverage of the topic, this manual is further enhanced by clinical photographs, diagrams and tables. Key Points Comprehensive guide to latest developments in diagnosis and treatment of atrial fibrillation More than 1000 pages discuss clinical spectrum, diagnosis, treatment options, interventions, and new technologies Complete sections dedicated to other arrhythmias, cardiac surgery, and future directions Highly illustrated with clinical photographs, diagrams and tables

Atrial Fibrillation: A Multidisciplinary Approach to Improving Patient Outcomes by Anonim Pdf

Atrial Fibrillation: A Multidisciplinary Approach to Improving Patient Outcomes, provides a current and comprehensive update on path physiology, epidemiology, management strategies of rate control, pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic approaches to rhythm control, risk stratification for stroke and bleeding, anticoagulant therapy, and left atrial occlusion devices. The contributions by experienced internists, cardiologists, electrophysiologists, surgeons, anesthesiologists, pharmacists, internists, nurse practitioners, and nurse educators provide a unique perspective. Case studies of paroxysmal, persistent, and permanent atrial provide clinical context incorporating recent evidence and best practices for the multidisciplinary approach to improving patient outcomes. “The physician is inundated with information, and needs all of this to be reduced and summarized in a readable form. This cannot be done simply by technical editing because it involves real expertise to pick the “jewels for the crown.” This has been accomplished so well by the authors who have contributed to this book. The result is a gem — a source of enlightenment for all the many clinicians who care for patients suffering from this ubiquitous arrhythmia. I read it from cover to cover in about three hours, and learned much which is new and useful to my practice. It is the best small book that I know dealing with this big subject.” -From the foreword by A. John Camm, MD

Catheter Ablation of Cardiac Arrhythmias by David J. Wilber,Douglas L. Packer,William G. Stevenson Pdf

Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation of Cardiac Arrhythmias has been so extensively updated for its third edition that the book now features a new title: Catheter Ablation of Cardiac Arrhythmias: Basic Concepts and Clinical Applications. The editors bring you 21 polished chapters, each updating the fundamentals and progressing to advanced concepts, providing state-of-the-art knowledge with highly relevant material for experienced electrophysiologists as well as fellows in training. This streamlined new edition features: • Two new editors, both widely published and leaders in the field of catheter ablation • 21 instead of 39 chapters, achieved by focusing on primary topics of broad interest and assimilating information from a wide range of sources • Fewer authors, chosen for their recognized contributions to the topics under discussion, providing a more integrated and coherent approach • Anatomic insights from leading pathologist Siew Yen Ho, integrated with new information from imaging technologies Each chapter dealing with ablation of a specific arrhythmia features the author's personal approach to ablation of the arrhythmia, including practical "how-to" tips, and a review of potential pitfalls. Alternate approaches and variations are succinctly summarized. Original figures and drawings illustrate specific approaches to improve the usability of the book.

Clinical Handbook of Cardiac Electrophysiology by Benedict M. Glover,Pedro Brugada Pdf

This extensively revised second edition provides a practically applicable guide for the management of cardiac arrhythmia. This subject has continued to expand rapidly, and it is therefore critical to understand the basic principles of arrhythmia mechanisms in order to assist with diagnosis and the selection of an appropriate treatment strategy. Comprehensively revised chapters cover a variety of aspects of cardiac electrophysiology in an easy-to-digest case-based format. For each case of arrhythmia, relevant illustrations, fluoroscopy images, ECGs and endocavity electrograms are used to describe the etiology, classification, clinical presentation, mechanisms, electrophysiology set up and relevant trouble-shooting procedures. New topics covered include the application of new antiarrhythmic drugs in tandem with ablation, techniques for the ablation of atrial fibrillation and electrophysiological assessments available for identifying instances of atrial tachycardia. Clinical Handbook of Cardiac Electrophysiology presents a comprehensive overview of cardiac electrophysiology, making it a valuable reference for practicing and trainee cardiac electrophysiologists, cardiologists, family practitioners, allied professionals and nurses.
