N2  - Cardiac electrophysiology is, for many, shrouded in mystery and viewed as difficult and inaccessible. Designed to demystify this field of modern cardiology, this title focuses on the patient with a rhythm abnormality, on how they present and how they can be investigated and managed; The diagnosis and management of heart rhythm abnormalities is often viewed as a complex and inaccessible area of modern cardiology shrouded in technical detail. Fast Facts: Cardiac Arrhythmias demystifies the subject with a straightforward approach to rhythm abnormality, asking how the patient with arrhythmia presents, how the problem should be investigated and how the arrhythmia can be managed. Highlights include: - A succinct description of normal conduction - A simple classification of arrhythmias based on 12-lead ECG patterns - A concise explanation of the mechanisms of arrhythmias with clear well-annotated illustrations - A comprehensive review of presenting signs and symptoms, with key questions to ask the patient - A logical approach to investigation: predict it (history and examination), wait for it (monitoring) or provoke it (electrophysiological testing) - Practical information on management options: pharmacological therapy, direct cardioversion, catheter ablation and cardiac devices - Specific chapters on the different types of arrhythmia
