New Arrhythmia Technologies

This book with supporting CD is part of the ESC Education Series. The series is designed to provide medical professionals with the latest information about the understanding, diagnosis and management of cardiovascular diseases. Where available, management recommendations are based on the established European Guidelines, which encompass the best techniques to use with each cardiac disease. Throughout the series, the leading international opinion leaders have been chosen to edit and contribute to the books. The information is presented in a succinct and accessible format with a clinical focus.

Non-invasive imaging is developing at a frantic pace and is being implemented more and more in the diagnostic and prognostic work-up of patients with heart disease. Cardiovascular Imaging provides insight into the use of different imaging modalities in clinical settings, focusing on frequently observed diseases, rather than the image modalities themselves.

This logical approach provides basic information on the place of the imaging modalities in these various diseases, and then highlights each one in a clinical case that all cardiologists will frequently encounter. The CD contains moving images.
