This book provides undergraduate and postgraduate students with an accessible and comprehensive overview of the fascinating area of cardiac electrophysiology. Using plain language and well-designed illustrations, it attempts to overcome the preconceptions of the subject as difficult to approach, given the complexity of intricate electrical cellular processes within the human heart. Based on lectures presented to intercalating BSc medical students, this book has been designed with the undergraduate in mind, but offers enough scope to be worthwhile at the postgraduate level.Readers of this book will feel more confident and at ease with electrical concepts and the important physiological mechanisms that govern the initiation and regulation of the heartbeat. This volume intends to bridge that difficult region between basic undergraduate lecture notes and original papers in an approachable way. It will be useful to students studying medicine, physiology, pharmacology, pharmacy and biology, particularly where their curricula includes not only cardiac physiology, but also neurobiology and muscle physiology.

Comprehensively updated with the latest recommendations and findings, it includes multiple tables, electrophysiology tracings and illustrations, and a treasury of electrophysiology pearls. This expanded Third Edition includes new chapters on AV blocks, channelopathies, and ventricular arrhythmias in a structurally normal heart, along with enhanced coverage of: · Electrophysiologic aspects of AVNRT and AVRT · Long and short RP tachycardia · Parahisian pacing · Bystander activation of accessory pathways · Brugada syndrome · Long QT syndrome and pregnancy A note on the questions: All the questions are ABIM style. Some of the questions have a tangential approach, i.e., not only one has to know the correct diagnosis but also has to know the correct management approach. Some questions are "concept" questions; i.e., it is to evaluate a basic concept to verify understanding.
