7th Edition. — Hodder Arnold, NY, USA, 2006. — 424 p. — ISBN: 0340925620.Cardiac Arrhythmias is a long-established and widely respected guide to the interpretation and treatment of cardiac rhythm disorders. Acting as a practical handbook to dip into when required, and also as a comprehensive textbook, it covers the basics and detail of cardiac rhythm disorders. Acting as a practical handbook to dip into when required, and also as a comprehensive textbook, it covers the basics and detail of cardiac arrhythmias at a realistic level without overwhelming the reader with unnecessary technical details and references.
For this seventh edition, the content has been brought up to date throughout, incorporating results from recent major clinical trials, developments in the treatment of atrial fibrillation, greater sophistication in pacemaker technology and the increased availability of defibrillators.
The book will provide invaluable advice to junior hospital doctors, coronary care nurses, cardiac technicians, higher level medical students and practicing physicians requiring a ready reference to this important subject.
