Dispersion of Ventricular Repolarization: State ofthe Art - Hardcover

Hardcover

ISBN 10: 0879934581 ISBN 13: 9780879934583

Publisher: Wiley–Blackwell, 2000

Synopsis

This unique book is the first to offer an update of contemporary knowledge of the dispersion of ventricular repolarization (DVR), from basic concepts to the clinical application of recently obtained knowledge. World–renowned scientists and clinicians in the frontline of this research area have authored 20 chapters on a range of relevant issues.

Growing amounts of recent evidence demonstrate that, in addition to other mechanisms already associated with malignant ventricular arrhythmias, ventricular myocardial cellular repolarization and DVR should be considered as key factors in these arrhythmias, which are a major cause of death in patients with different types of cardiac disease. This understanding has directly impacted clinical practice by creating a platform for development of new treatment concepts.

This book will interest Cardiologists, Electrophysiologists, and Basic and Clinical Pharmacologists, and other clinicians interested in learning more about the subject.

About this title

From the Back Cover

Front–line research presented by international experts in the study of
dispersion of ventricular repolarization.

This unique book is the first to offer an update of contemporary knowledge
of the dispersion of ventricular repolarization (DVR), from basic concepts
to the clinical application of recently obtained knowledge. World–renowned
scientists and clinicians in the frontline of this research area have
authored 20 chapters on a range of relevant issues, including:
basic studies
methodological aspects
DVR and ventricular arrhythmias
DVR and cardiac disorders
DVR and antiarrhythmic treatment

Growing amounts of recent evidence demonstrate that, in addition to other
mechanisms already associated with malignant ventricular arrhythmias,
ventricular myocardial cellular repolarization and DVR should be considered
as key factors in these arrhythmias, which are a major cause of death in
patients with different types of cardiac disease. This understanding has
directly impacted clinical practice by creating a platform for development
of new treatment concepts.

This book will interest Cardiologists, Electrophysiologists, and Basic and
Clinical Pharmacologists, and other clinicians interested in learning more
