Author Description

Co–authored by two leaders in the field, this book consolidates clinical arrhythmology and basic electrophysiology. Written by Dr Wit, who worked with Drs Hoffman and Cranefield on the electrophysiological mechanisms of arrhythmias, and Dr Janse, who was in Dr Durrer′s laboratory working on arrhythmias caused by ischemia and infarction, this book gives in–depth information on mechanisms of ischemic arrhythmias, integrating clinical arrhythmology with basic electrophysiology. Much of this book is based on experimental studies performed in the authors′ laboratories. An important addition to the literature in cardiovascular electrophysiology, this book will benefit both clinicians and researchers by correlating the experimental physiology of the heart to practical medicine
