Practical Guide to Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation: Edition 2
Giới thiệu về sách điện tử này
- Takes a clear-headed practical approach to ablation of atrial fibrillation – long on actionable, clinically-relevant guidance, succinct and to-the-point on the theory behind the procedure
- Edited by three leading, internationally-known electrophysiologists with extensive experience in ablation for atrial fibrillation
- Written by international team of experts reflecting global best practices from centers with considerable experience in the use of catheter ablation
- Format designed to serve the needs of electrophysiologists regardless of experience, electrophysiology fellows, electrophysiology nurses and lab technical staff
- Covers hot topics such as new noninvasive imaging techniques, the treatment of challenging left atrial flutters, options for persistent atrial fibrillation and when a redo ablation is needed; and novel application of ablation targeting the autonomic nervous system

Jonathan S. Steinberg, MD, Adjunct Professor of Medicine, University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry; Director, The Arrhythmia Institute, The Valley Health System, New York, NY and Ridgewood, NJ, USA.
Professor Jonathan S. Steinberg has helped produce many of the seminal and innovative clinical trials in electrophysiology, with a recent specific focus on the technical and clinical aspects of catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation. He is the author of more than 180 peer-reviewed publications and 250 abstracts, an editorial board member or regular reviewer for numerous journals, and is part of the American Board of Internal Medicine Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology Committee. He continues to have an active clinical practice, managing patients with complex arrhythmias who require catheter ablation.
Pierre Jais, M.D., Professor, Department of Cardiology, Universite Victor Segalen-Bordeaux 2 and Hopital Cardiologique du Haut-Leveque, Bordeaux, France.
Pierre Jais is Professor at the Cardiology Hospital, Pessac, France, working with Michel Haissaguerre in the Rhythmology and Cardiac Stimulation Department. With this group he has pioneered AF ablation. He is a regular contributor at national and international symposia (240 communications) and has written many journal articles, mainly on electrophysiology and RF catheter ablation, particularly focusing on atrial and ventricular arrhythmias (412 journal publications, 38 as first author).
