Clinical Aspects of Life-threatening Arrhythmias - książka wyd. 1984

Opis

Clinical Aspects of Life-threatening Arrhythmias is a medical reference focused on the recognition, mechanisms, diagnosis, and management of severe cardiac arrhythmias that pose an immediate risk to life. The book presents both the electrophysiological basis and the clinical presentation of malignant rhythm disorders, such as ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, advanced atrioventricular block, and sudden cardiac death syndromes. Emphasis is placed on risk stratification, emergency evaluation, and decision-making in acute and chronic settings. The authors discuss modern diagnostic tools, including ECG interpretation, electrophysiological studies, and imaging, as well as therapeutic strategies such as pharmacological treatment, electrical cardioversion and defibrillation, catheter ablation, and implantable cardiac devices. Clinical cases and evidence-based guidelines are used to connect theory with real-world practice. The book is intended for cardiologists, emergency physicians, internists, and trainees who require a practical yet comprehensive understanding of life-threatening arrhythmias and their management.
