Cardiac Electrophysiology: From Cell to Bedside Expert Consult - Online and Print

Cardiac Electrophysiology: From Cell to Bedside defines the entire state of current scientific and clinical knowledge in this subspecialty. In response to the many major recent developments in the field, Drs. Zipes and Jalife have completely updated this modern classic, making the 5th Edition the most significant revision yet. From our latest understanding of ion channels, molecular genetics, and cardiac electrical activity through newly recognized syndromes, unique needs of special patient populations, and new diagnostic and therapeutic options, you'll find all the state-of-the-art guidance you need to make informed, effective clinical decisions. What's more, a significantly restructured organization, a new full-color layout, and full-text online access make reference easier than ever.
Reviews

"This book is an indispensable reference source for anyone interested in having a better understanding of cardiac electrophysiology." - Circulation, review of the last edition

"A remarkable book that lives up to the promise of its title. It is an encyclopedic review of all areas of adult and pediatric cardiac electrophysiology ... Can be used by the trainee as an all-inclusive, in-depth course in electrophysiology. However, it will also be useful to the clinician who needs an accessible reference work ... A necessary addition to the library of every cardiology training program and every electrophysiologist, as well as all physicians with a special interest in arrhythmias." - NEJM, review of the last edition
