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
