There are a number of excellent books on molecular biology, single-channel electrophysiology,
animal experimentation, and clinical electrophysiology. However, the past
decade has seen an explosion of knowledge and radical changes in our understanding of
ventricular repolarization as an integral part of the cardiac electrophysiologic matrix; a
topic which, until now, has not been covered in depth. Cardiac Repolarization: Bridging
Basic and Clinical Science presents comprehensively the latest developments in the field
of cardiac electrophysiology with a focus on the clinical and experimental aspects of
ventricular repolarization, newly discovered clinical repolarization syndromes, electrocardiographic
phenomena, and their correlation with the most recent advances in basic
science.
A comprehensive review of all the latest developments in cardiac electrophysiology, focusing on both the clinical and experimental aspects of ventricular repolarization, including newly discovered clinical repolarization syndromes, electrocardiographic phenomena, and their correlation with the most recent advances in basic science. The authors illuminate the basic electrophysiologic, molecular, and pharmacologic mechanisms underlying ventricular repolarization, relate them to specific disease conditions, and examine the future of antiarrhythmic drug development based on both molecular and electrophysiological properties. They also fully review the clinical presentation and management of specific cardiac repolarization conditions. |
