Electrocardiography of Channelopathies: A Primer for the Clinical Cardiologist

Electrocardiography of Channelopathies: A Primer for the Clinical Cardiologist introduces readers to the inherited arrhythmia syndromes that are a leading cause of sudden cardiac death. As the ECG is the cornerstone of identifying inherited arrhythmia syndromes, this cutting-edge book is a critical resource to guide cardiologists in using the technology for optimum diagnosis and treatment of their patients. It clearly delineates the differences between each syndrome to improve accuracy and health outcomes. Its easy portability belies a vast knowledge base for use by clinicians in the moment as well as by researchers in the laboratory. This book illuminates diseases such as Short and Long QT Syndromes, Andersen-Tawil Syndrome, Brugada Syndrome, Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia, and Early Repolarization syndrome. Electrocardiography of Channelopathies: A Primer for the Clinical Cardiologist will no doubt become a go-to reference for experienced clinicians seeking confirmation of their diagnoses, as well as those newer to the field seeking guidance in ECG interpretation. Presents the main ECG characteristics of inherited arrhythmia syndromesProvides data and images based on the 12-lead ECG to confidently ascertain differential diagnoses of sudden cardiac death syndromesOffers authoritative yet succinct information on channelopathies, which healthcare professionals can reference on the go INDICE: 1.
