About the Book

Atrial fibrillation is a common and important arrythmia which affects nearly5% of peopple over 70. This synthesis of current knowledge which is based onmuch original work by the author brings togeher for the first time the many areas of advance in recent years and will help to make experts from the highly specialised fields within cardiology aware of the developments withinothers.

Table of Contents:
