Summary:

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 thought 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 and visual appeal of the book.
