Filling a gap in the literature, this all-encompassing reference explores the epidemiology, mechanisms, and pathophysiology of atrial fibrillation and compiles the latest diagnostic and treatment practices for patient care. The book summarizes the most recent advances in symptom relief, drug development, device management, and long-term control of heart rhythm abnormalities and reviews the latest studies on the prevention of stroke and other thromboembolic events in patients with valvular and nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. Finally, it offers new strategies to improve the therapy and outcomes of patients suffering from the myriad of complications associated with atrial fibrillation.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent analysis of a trending subject,
By Guy F. Airey "The Chemist" (San Antonio, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Atrial Fibrillation (Fundamental and Clinical Cardiology) (Hardcover)
A most comprehensive and very informative text concerning a subject all of us baby boomers should read. It is written primarily for the health care professional, but the editors did an excellent job when explaining topics currently problematic -- when considering atrial fib treatment options. I wish they would write volume two! The charts and drawings for illustrations could be cleaned up, but this is written so well, one will hardly notice. The book is referenced in extremely well written fashion, and should be recommended as an excellent source for AF in any library on the subject. They (the authors) go into great detail explaining results and possibilities of virtually every known study done, offering suggestions which for the most part are excellent. The general lay population can read this and appreciate the task they accomplished by writing on such a topic so difficult, yet lowering the diction to explain concepts which might seem a little selective. This is done by them correctly seeking the "rate" method of correcting the AFib in question which is much easier, yet of course, not a simple undergoing. Although, not a pleasant subject to discuss, atrial fibrillation is coming to the forefront of problems that anyone over 50 should consider as a subject one should know just a little more about. This book can do just that for all of us . guyairey
