In 1998 Professor Haissaguerre and his colleagues made the initial
observation in patients that triggering foci in or around the
pulmonary veins initiate some types of atrial fibrillation. Since
then it has become clear that atrial fibrillation and other atrial
tachyarrhythmias can be initiated (and possibly maintained) by
triggering foci in any of the thoracic veins. This concept is now
one of the most current topics in electrophysiology, and while it
is a topic of frequent discussion in the major cardiology and
electrophysiology journals, "Thoracic Vein Arrhythmias: Mechanisms
and Treatment" is the first state-of-the art multi-authored
textbook that integrates the advances made in this rapidly
developing new area of cardiac arrhythmias for the global
community.
Edited by Drs. Shih-Ann Chen, Michel Haissaguerre, and Douglas
P. Zipes, who are at the forefront of advances in this field of
cardiology, and with contributions from authors representing an
international array of authorities in their individual fields, this
text will be an invaluable reference to students, basic scientists,
and clinicians with an interest in any aspect of cardiac
arrhythmia.
First textbook to provide comprehensive, critical and insightful
review by leading experts in the exciting field of thoracic vein
arrhythmias.
Contains review of the current status of thoracic vein arrhythmias,
and speculation on how the new findings will impact on treatment of
cardiac arrhythmias.
The chapters outline how progress is being made on several fronts
ranging from basic mechanisms to invasive treatment for thoracic
vein arrhythmias.
