Cox’s Surgical Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation and Other Cardiac Arrhythmias, E-Book, 1st Edition
Key Features
- Corrects common misperceptions and misunderstandings of atrial fibrillation and clarifies the research on atrial fibrillation to date, establishing the academic standard on the principles of atrial fibrillation and other cardiac arrhythmias
- Shares the knowledge and experience of Drs. Cox, McCarthy, and Malaisrie regarding the fundamentals of the pathophysiology of atrial fibrillation and the evolution of ablative therapy for atrial fibrillation, as well as current knowledge and research, authored by renowned worldwide authorities in the field today
- Describes the prior 20 years of surgery for cardiac arrhythmias that led to the eventual successful surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation. These procedures include surgery for the WPW Syndrome, AV Node Reentry Tachycardia, Automatic Right and Left Atrial Tachycardias, and Ischemic and Non-Ischemic Ventricular Tachycardias
