Summary:

Management of Cardiac Arrythymias provides not only an overview of arrhythmia and its management, but also a comprehensive description of the current and emerging therapeutic strategies now available for treatment. In addition to coverage of the atrial fibrillation ablation, implantable cardioverter defibrillators, prevention of sudden cardiac death, and syncope, the physician will find cutting-edge clinical discussions about radiofrequency catherter ablation of supraventricular tachycardia, pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic treatment of atrial fibrillation, pacemakers, and the management of atrial flutter. There are also state-of-the-art chapters on treating patients with ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation, cardiac arrhythmias during acute myocardial infarction, arrhythmias in pediatric patients, and arrhythmias during pregnancy.
