Drs Sternick and Wellens combine their expertise in the
diagnosis and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias to bring you this
complete overview of decrementally conducting accessory pathways
and their role in cardiac arrhythmias.
This is the first book dedicated to these special types of
accessory pathways, their recognition and management. By covering
the uncommon varieties of ventricular preexcitation, this book
supports you in improving patient care by:
- Helping you to identify decrementally conducting AV fibers-
which comprise 3-5 % of all accessory AV pathways
- Explaining exactly what information can be obtained from the
12-lead ECG
- Showing how to identify and localize these pathways during an
electrophysiologic study
- Detailing the proper treatment and how to treat these patients
By explaining the fundamental pathophysiology as well as the diverse clinical presentation of arrhythmias, Drs Sternick and Wellens demystify the subject of the different variants of decrementally conducting accessory pathways leading to ventricular pre-excitation and their role in cardiac arrhythmias.
