This book draws on the established European guidelines from the ESC that address the key issues in sudden cardiac death, such as identifying individuals at risk prior to an episode of a ventricular tachyarrhythmia or a sudden cardiac arrest, and responding in a timely fashion to the person suffering the event out-of-the-hospital.

Pathology of Sudden Cardiac Death provides a comprehensive review of cardiovascular disorders.

The management of non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTE-ACS) has rapidly evolved over the last few years and many guidelines have been provided and already updated.

Until recently, the cellular basis for sudden death, the Brugada Syndrome, has largely remained an unknown to modern arrhythmologists and cardiologists, particularly in the absence of any structural heart disease.

Pattern recognition is an important learning tool in the interpretation of ECGs.

Cardiologists today must have adequate basic training in vascular medicine in order to care for patients with peripheral vascular diseases.

In recent years there has been considerable interest in the diagnosis and understanding of ventricular repolarisation, particularly the QT interval prolongation and abnormal T and T/U wave morphology associated with torsades de pointes.

Congenital heart disease with its worldwide incidence of 1% is the most common inborn defect.

Congenital cardiovascular malformations are the single most common form of birth defect.

Profiles in Cardiac Pacing and Electrophysiology is a collection of short biographies of scientists and physicians who have played (or still play) a significant role in improving diagnosis and therapy of heart rhythm disturbances including electrophysiology and pacing.

Over the years we have heard many complaints that there is no very simple book on cardiac pacing for real beginners.

The objective of this text is to synthesise the research based clinical treatment strategies that have been found to be most effective in the clinical management of heart failure as a disease.
