About this title

Synopsis:

Atrial fibrillation is a heart condition that causes an irregular and often abnormally fast heart rate. It can cause problems including dizziness, shortness of breath and tiredness and a patient may be aware of noticeable heart palpitations, where the heart feels like it is pounding, fluttering or beating irregularly, often for a few seconds or, in some cases, a few minutes (NHS Choices).

This comprehensive guide presents clinicians with the latest developments in the diagnosis and management of atrial fibrillation. Divided into seven sections, the book covers clinical spectrum, diagnosis, therapeutic strategies, interventions, and new technologies used in its treatment and prevention.

Complete sections are dedicated to other arrhythmias, to cardiac surgery and to future directions in atrial fibrillation.

With more than 1000 pages providing in depth coverage of the topic, this manual is further enhanced by clinical photographs, diagrams and tables.
