Atrial fibrillation is underdiagnosed and preventative strategiesare underutilized.
The disease is estimated to rise to an epidemic level,increasing by over 50% by the end of the decade, occurring commonlyin the setting of otherwise healthy aging.
Innovative Management of Atrial Fibrillation provides aforum for a full discussion on this topical matter. Distinguishedexperts from both electrophysiology and cardiac surgery place theirwork in the context of future development, examining theshort–comings of current pharmacological treatments. This resultsin a unique, comprehensive review for cardiologists, cardiacsurgeons and anyone who wishes to gain a complete perspective onthe fast–paced field of atrial fibrillation.
Material ranges from atrial pathophysiology to advancedminimally invasive surgical ablation and cutting edge palliativeand curative therapeutic options. The book also includes theexamination of innovative management strategies and the nextgeneration of therapies, giving an essential insight into theemerging potential of gene therapy.
