Bioelectricity -- Ion channels -- Ion channel regulation -- Impulse initiation and propagation in cardiac muscle -- Rate dependency of discontinuous propagation -- Basic mechanisms of cardiac arrhythmias -- Rotors, spirals, and scroll waves in the heart -- Rotors and the mechanisms of atrial fibrillation -- Molecular mechanisms of ventricular fibrillation -- Inheritable arrhythmogenic diseases
Summary
This book translates fundamental knowledge in basic cardiac electrophysiology from the bench to the bedside. Revised and updated for its second edition, the text offers new coverage of the molecular mechanisms of ion channel behavior and its regulation, complex arrhythmias, and the broadening roles of devices and ablation. Clear, straightforward explanations are illustrated by plentiful diagrams to make the material accessible to the non-specialist
Bibliography
Includes bibliographical references (pages 316-334) and index
