Riassunto

Through its previous editions, Cardiac Arrythmias has become established as a highly respected practical guide to the interpretation and treatment of cardiac rhythm disturbances. For this sixth edition,the content has been updated throughout, with increased emphasis on physical interventions and more information on sudden cardiac death and its prevention. The latest information on current pharmacological treatments and new therapies in development are also included.



The book will continue to provide invaluable advice to junior doctors, coronary care nurses, higher level medical students and general physicians requiring a ready reference to this important subject.

Recensione

'A thoroughly usable handbook to dip into and practical textbook covering the area of the basics and detail of cardiac arrhythmias for trainee cardiologists, technicians, GPSI cardiology and cardiologists but without unnecessary technical detail and references'
2002 BMA Medical Book Competition Awards

...a well conceived practical guide to the interpretation and treatment of the main cardiac rhythm disturbances. Many a medical registrar will be grateful for this clear, concise, up-to-date manual.
Lancet

This book presents a concise and simplified approach to the diagnosis and management of abnormalities in cardiac rhythm... One of the book's strengths is the number and quality of electrocardiographic tracings that are juxtaposed with the text to highlight important points.
New England Journal of Medicine

This book about cardiac arrhythmias is of much educational value and is written and edited simply and clearly.
European Heart Journal

My choice...would be Bennett's Cardiac Arrhythmias which is rather more advanced and therefore suitable for junior hospital staff. This includes a list of key learning points at the end of each section and ends with a challenging ECG quiz.
British Medical Journal

I enjoyed reading it and would recommend it unreservedly to anaesthetists who wish to improve their knowledge of cardiac arrhythmias. My advice is to buy the book and to read it.
