This book provides a comprehensive and clinically based approach to the diagnosis and management of arrhythmia disorders for the cardiology fellow and practicing general cardiologist. The clinical approach encompasses evidence-based medicine as well as practical pearls for the diagnosis and management of arrhythmia disorders. Chapters provide a comprehensive discussion of arrhythmia disorders, from noninvasive diagnostic strategies through pharmacologic and invasive therapeutic strategies. The level of sophistication ranges from the most basic to more sophisticated topics, and provides an excellent complement to Josephson's more advanced text.
