You can tell where the emphasis is going to be tell by who edited this book. This is what I expected, what I wanted and what I got.

This is an excellent complete well written and edited book that provides electrophysiologists and cardiologists, who are asked to manage non-arrhythmic syncope whether we like it or not, with a basis to do so.

This novel is an excellent compedium of knowledge for the general cardiologist or electrophysiologist providing a very practical knowledge of non-arrhythmic syncope with an appropriate level of basic science.

As a practicing cardiologist, I routinely treat patients with syncope, and this text, edited by one of the leaders in the world on the subject, is excellent and has been very useful to me. There is enough basic science here to be useful (and you cannot treat syncope without understanding the underlying mechanisms) without becoming tedious, and is included to the extent necessary. The text is very direct regarding how to optimally proceed to attempt to establish a diagnosis, and options regarding treatment are clearly spelled out. In addition to chapters on the various types of syncope, there are also chapters on special populations (young, elderly, athletes) as well as chapters on the legal aspects of providing care to this population. For any health care provider who routinely provides evaluation or treatment for patients with syncope I simply cannot recommend this book highly enough.

It's an excellent book, because it have information that you don't found here in Mexico in the library about Dysautonomia.
