Inhaltsangabe

This book analyzes sudden cardiac death from the multiple perspectives of world-renowned experts.

Fighting Sudden Cardiac Death: A Worldwide Challenge reviews the background of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in light of new advances in genetics, mechanisms of therapy, and prevention, thus providing the reader with a more unified view of SCD, a better understanding of the pathological mechanisms of SCD, and the tools needed to identify the appropriate treatment for patients at risk for a primary event.

Its 50 chapters incorporate expert findings on a wide variety of relevant subjects, ranging from cell to examination, from idiopathic arrhythmias and SCD in athletes to arrhythmogenic heart failure, from long QT syndrome to ventricular dysplasia, from prehospital resuscitation to very sophisticated implantable devices. In-depth discussions on the background, therapy and prevention of SCD serve to increase and improve the tools available to battle this "serial killer."

Cardiologists, electrophysiologists, and internists, both in clinical practice and in the laboratory, will find a great deal of valuable information in this book.
