"Cardiac Arrhythmias: Mechanisms, Pathophysiology, and Treatment" ed. by Wilbert S. Aronow

This book is useful for physicians taking care of patients with cardiac arrhythmias and includes six chapters written by experts in their field.

Chapter 1 discusses basic mechanisms of cardiac arrhythmias.
Chapter 2 discusses the chronobiological aspects of the impact of apnoic episodes on ventricular arrhythmias.
Chapter 3 discusses navigation, detection, and tracking during cardiac ablation interventions.
Chapter 4 discusses epidemiology and pathophysiology of ventriculararrhythmias in several noncardiac diseases, methods used to assess arrhythmia risk, and their association with long-term outcomes.
Chapter 5 discusses the treatment of ventricular arrhythmias including indications for implantation of an AICD for primary and for secondary prevention in patients with and without congestive heart failure.
Chapter 6 discusses surgical management of atrial fibrillation.
