This extensively updated edition reviews current and potential future therapies for cardiac arrhythmias. Developing the highly practical format of the original, this edition provides a thorough guide for the use of pharmaceuticals in the management of the condition and is focused on providing a clinical manual for arrhythmia treatment.
Antiarrhythmic Drugs builds on the current understanding of pathophysiological mechanisms and insights gained from previous studies of therapeutic interventions. It is designed to establish the baseline level of knowledge that a cardiovascular professional needs to know on a day-to-day basis.
