In recent years, catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation has
become a widespread treatment modality in electrophysiology
laboratories all over the world. Nevertheless, many aspects of the
therapy are controversial.
Developed by world-renowned experts in the field, this book
presents a comprehensive and up-to date overview of all the most
important and debated aspects of atrial fibrillation ablation,
including:
* Ablation techniques and technologies
* Procedural endpoints
* Patient management pre-, peri- and post-ablation
* Anticoagulation issues
* Prevention and treatment of complications
* Definition of success and long-term results
The text expands upon the content of the Venice Chart
international consensus document on atrial fibrillation ablation
and is enriched by several explanatory figures and tables. It
provides a highly valuable source of information not only for
researchers and specialists in electrophysiology, but also for
general cardiologists, internists, fellows in cardiology and
medical students.
