Full Description
In this issue of Cardiac Electrophysiology Clinics, guest editors Giuseppe Bagliani, Roberto De Ponti, and Fabio Leonelli bring their considerable expertise to the topic of the multifaced aspects of atrial flutter interpreted by precision electrocardiology. Top experts in the field teach readers to discriminate the different forms of atrial flutter based on surface electrocardiogram and intracavitary signals and to correctly approach this arrhythmia invasively by ablation. Readers will also learn the importance of the appropriate treatment in different patient populations.
Contains 14 practice-oriented topics including normal and abnormal atrial anatomy relevant to atrial flutters: areas of physiological and acquired conduction blocks and delays predisposing to re-entry; electrocardiographic approach to atrial flutter: classifications and differential diagnosis; pathophysiology of typical and atypical atrial flutter; atrial flutters in adults with congenital heart disease; and more.
Provides in-depth clinical reviews on atrial flutter as interpreted by precision electrocardiology, offering actionable insights for clinical practice.
Presents the latest information on this timely, focused topic under the leadership of experienced editors in the field. Authors synthesize and distill the latest research and practice guidelines to create clinically significant, topic-based reviews.
