Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation for the Treatmentof Cardiac Arrhythmias

Description

Radiofrequency catheter ablation is a safe and presently a routine method for the treatment of arrhythmias. This practical atlas presents illustrative cases aiming to inform practitioners and aid in the management of their patients. This essential text is written by an international array of experts in this field and organized by the Reunion of European countries for the Treatment of Arrythmias in Cardiology (RETAC).
