This extensively updated edition reviews current and potential future therapies for cardiac arrhythmias.
Developing the highly practical format of the original, this edition provides a thorough guide for the use of pharmaceuticals in the management of the condition and is focused on providing a clinical manual for arrhythmia treatment.
