About this title

Synopsis

This book describes the main cardiac arrhythmias, with particular emphasis on the problems commonly encountered in their interpretation, and discusses the practical aspects of current methods of investigation and treatment. Information of purely academic value has not been included. The book is intended to fill the gap between those textbooks that cover only the basics of arrhythmias and those that are written for the cardiac electrophysiologist. It has been written with junior hospital doctors in mind. They receive little formal training in the mangement of cardiac arrhythmias and yet, because prompt action is often required, the onus of diagnosis and treatment usually falls on them. It should also be of interest to medical students who will soon be responsible for dealing with arrhythmias, to nurses working in coronary and intensive care units and to physicians who want a brief review of the practical aspects of cardiac arrhythmias.

Review

"The language of the book is straightforward and written in short sentences, so it is  easy to understand ... (An) excellent no-nonsense text which facilitates the development of a working knowledge of the care of patients with arrhythmias."

Philomena Corrigan, British Journal of Cardiac Nursing

"This is an excellent book, which all cardiologists should read or at least hold in their bookcases for reference."

Dr Sarah Clarke, Cardiology News
