Understanding Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology

In the fast paced world of clinical training, students are often inundated with the <q>what</q> of electrophysiology without the <q>why</q>. This new text is designed to tell the story of electrophysiology so that the seemingly disparate myriad observations of clinical practice come into focus as a cohesive and predictable whole. <ul> <li>Presents a unique, conceptually-guided approach to understanding the movement of electrical current through the heart, the impact of various disease states and the positive effect of treatment</li> <li>Reviews electrophysiologic principles and the analytic tools which, when combined with a firm grasp of EP mechanisms, allow the reader to think through any situation</li> <li>Presents the mathematics necessary for the practice of cardiac electrophysiology in an accessible and understandable manner</li> <li>Contains accompanying video clips, including computer simulations showing the flow of electrical current through the heart, which help explain and visualise concepts discussed in the text</li> <li>Includes helpful chapter summaries and full color illustrations aid comprehension</li> </ul>
