Pacing and defibrillation have become the leading therapeutic
treatments of heart rhythm disorders, including bradycardia and
tachycardia. The success of these therapies is largely due to
centuries of scientific inquiry into the fundamental mechanisms of
bioelectric phenomena in the heart. History of successful
development of bioelectric therapies includes development of
experimental and theoretical methodologies, novel bioengineering
approaches, and state-of-the-art clinical implantable device
therapies. The purpose of this book is to present a uniform
thematic collection of reviews written by the leading basic and
applied scientists working in basic bioengineering research
laboratories, who have contributed to the development of current
understanding of the fundamental mechanisms of pacing and
electrophysiology, and who are at the leading edge of further
developments in electrotherapy. The book will start from the
historic overview of the subject, including the development of the
pacemaker and defibrillator, evolution of theories of cardiac
arrhythmias and experimental methods used in the field over the
centuries. Leading experts in the field will write these chapters.
The second part of the book will focus on rigorous treatment of the
fundamental theory of interaction between electric field and
cardiac cell, tissue, and organ. Chapters will be written by top
notch scientists, who made critically important contributions to
the development of these theories. Part 3 will provide summary of
several decades of research involving electrode recordings and
multielectrode mapping of ventricular fibrillation and
defibrillation in humans and animal models of arrhythmias. Part 4
will present new insights into defibrillation gained due to the
advent of optical imaging technology, which permitted to map
defibrillation without overwhelming shock-induced artifacts present
in electrode recordings. Part 5 will provide rigorous overview of
the methodologies, which made research of physiological and
engineering aspects of electrotherapy possible. And finally, part 6
will present possible future of implantable devices and
electrotherapy in the treatment of cardiac rhythm disorders.
