Summary:

New Arrhythmia Technologies provides a complete discussion of recent, emerging, and future arrhythmia technologies.This forward-thinking book details successful trials and investigates areas of research that have not yet reached the trial phase.The elite panel of authors have explored fresh information on: - advances in antiarrhythmic pharmacologis therapy- advances in monitoring, risk assessment, and noninvasive mapping- advances in pacing therapy- advances in implantable defibrillators- advances in catheter and surgical ablation- advances in antiarrhythmic biological therapy- vision for the future of arrhythmia technologies- web-based defibrillation monitoring. New Arrhythmia Technologies presents a unique view of the latest in arrhythmia innovations through the eyes of the experts in the field.
