Dynamic Electrocardiography

Two well-known and respected editors have assembled an outstanding group of electrophysiologists/physicians to write a major work representing the field of electrocardiography as we know it today. This book contains all the major subject areas within the field of electrocardiography with significant clinical and basic content to appeal to the entire electrophysiology community in addition to educating cardiologists with the latest information. The fact that Drs. Malik and Camm have edited this work assures a volume of incredible quality and readability. Malik (cardiac electrophysiology, St. George's Hospital Medical School, UK) and Camm (clinical cardiology, St. George's Hospital Medical School, UK) assemble electrophysiologists, clinical cardiologists, and physicians, many of whom are leading experts in their fields, to describe techniques in electrocardiography. Material is organized so that clinicians and researchers may focus on the technical details of how techniques are performed, how they are properly applied, and what they mean to the clinician. Sections deal with heart rate variability, baroreflex, ischemic patterns, ventricular repolarization, atrial fibrillation, ventricular arrhythmias, and electrocardiogram of an implanted device. Information presented is of interest to clinicians and researchers. Annotation : 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) Sect. I: Heart Rate Variability -- Sect. Ii: Baroreflex -- Sect.
