In this text, internationally recognized authors explore and explain the advances in basic and clinical electrophysiology that have had the greatest impact on catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF).

Designed to assist in patient care, stimulate research projects, and continue the remarkable advances in catheter ablation of AF , the book covers:

the fundamental concepts of AF, origin of signals, computer simulation, and updated reviews of ablation tools

the present practical approaches to the ablation of specific targets in the fibrillating atria, including pulmonary veins, atrial neural network, fragmented electrograms, and linear lesions, as well as the strategies in paroxysmal or chronic AF or facing left atrial tachycardias

the special challenge of heart failure patients, the impact of ablation on mortality, atrial mechanical function, and lessons from surgical AF ablation

Richly illustrated by numerous high-quality images, Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation will help every member of the patient care team.

	Electroanatomical Mapping: An Atlas for Clinicians by Amin Al-Ahmad (Editor), David J. Callans (Editor), Henry H. Hsia (Editor), Andrea Natale (Editor) Catheter ablation has become a mainstay in the therapy of cardiac arrhythmias. The development of electroanatomical mapping technologies (such as CARTO) has facilitated more complex ablation procedures. This brand new book encompasses cardiac arrhythmias and practical tips for users of electroanatomical mapping, providing a color atlas of different arrhythmias, presented as cases, that have been carefully mapped and correlated with clinical and electrogram data. ...

	Catheter Ablation of Persistent Atrial Fibrillation: A Practical Guide by Mark O'Neill (Author), George, M.D. Veenhuyzen (Author), Sebastian, M.D. Knecht (Author), Michel Haissaguerre (Foreword), George J. Klein (Foreword) A major goal of this book is to encourage readers to further investigate electrogram interpretation in atrial fibrillation, and to foster their curiosity in deciphering the language of the electrogram. The authors describe a pragmatic approach to the targeting of such electrograms, and provide their interpretation of the mechanisms underlying specific activation patterns. This interpretation is confirmed in most cases by successful local ablation, as defined by a change in atrial fibrillation...
