Electrical Diseases of the Heart Volume 1: Basic Foundations and Primary Electrical Diseases

Electrical Diseases of the Heart Volume 1: Basic Foundations and Primary Electrical Diseases / edited by Ihor Gussak, Charles Antzelevitch.

The past two decades have witnessed an explosion of knowledge and radical changes in our understanding of the molecular, ionic, genetic, and pharmacologic basis of electrical diseases of the heart. Electrical diseases of the heart are heritable arrhythmogenic clinical entities that may share common...
