This book provides cutting-edge theories and techniques for catheter ablation of all kinds of
tachyarrhythmias. Catheter ablation has been a main therapeutic method for tachyarrhythmias for
more than thirty years now and countless operations have been successfully performed. It is
crucial for electrophysiologists to diagnose arrhythmia mechanisms correctly and to optimize
ablation methods especially in Japan one of the world's fastest-aging countries and where
many of this book's authors are based.The volume is divided into eight parts. The first three
parts present the basic theories and novel insights essential to diagnosing and performing
catheter ablations. In turn the latter five parts highlight practical ablation methods in the
context of frequently encountered arrhythmias cases as well as rare ones such as
chanellopathies. Written for electrophysiologists who treat patients with cardiac arrhythmias
the book offers readers essential tips and tricks for the optimaltreatment of arrhythmias.
