Cardiac Mapping is the cardiac electrophysiologist's GPS. It will guide you to new places in the heart and help you find the old places more easily ... a valuable addition to your bookshelf Douglas P. Zipes, from the Foreword. Over the course of three previous editions, this book has become the acknowledged gold standard reference on the electro-anatomical mapping of the heart. This new edition features greatly expanded coverage-the number of chapters have doubled to 80 with 40 new chapters-on leading edge science, new clinical applications and future frontiers, author.
