Myocardial Repolarization: From Gene to Bedside

A convenient guide of easily accessible information on the mechanisms of myocardial repolarization and related clinical issues.This book provides a unique collection of contributions by prominent cardiologists on the current knowledge of the mechanisms of arrhythmias, the molecular and genetic bases of noninvasive electrocardiologic diagnosis, and other related clinical issues. In addition to mechanistic aspects, recent developments in the diagnosis of arrhythmias using newly recognized markers (QT dispersion, T-wave alternans, etc.) and their clinical importance are addressed in an easily accessible manner by world-renowned authors.The book is a quick-reference for practicing cardiologists and electrophysiologists, those in training, and others who work in the field of arrhythmology.
