This is an edited collection covering a wide range of topics in the
field of tachyarrhythmias. Among them is the general approach to
the patient with supraventricular tachycardia. The management of
patients with atrial fibrillation has also been extensively
covered. The important topic of differential diagnosis of wide QRS
tachycardia has been touched upon as well with a comprehensive and
well-illustrated review. Special emphasis has been put on the
assessment of the risk for sudden cardiac death in patients with
ischaemic and non-ischaemic dilated cardiomyopathy. The chapters
covering these topics provide a useful update to the novel risk
factors that might help to better assess the sudden cardiac death
risk. A substantial part of the book is devoted to catheter
ablation of arrhythmias as a non-pharmacological treatment option.
The approach to catheter ablation of narrow QRS tachycardias and
typical atrial flutter has been reviewed in detail. Another
detailed review summarises the methods for catheter ablation of
atrial fibrillation starting from the very introduction of this
technique and ending with the current state-of-the-art technology
used to successfully ablate atrial fibrillation. The approach to
catheter ablation of ventricular tachyarrhythmias in structurally
normal hearts and in the presence of structural heart disease has
been described in a series of two chapters. Last but not least, the
book reviews the role of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators
(ICD) in the prevention of sudden cardiac death. It focuses on the
current indications for implantation and also describes some basic
principles in device programming. With the wide area of topics that
are covered by the different chapters, this book is interesting to
fellows, clinical cardiologists and electrophysiologists and all
physicians involved in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac
arrhythmias.
