Springer Molecular Genetics of Cardiac Electrophysiology Book

Explore the complex landscape of cardiovascular science with Molecular Genetics of Cardiac Electrophysiology, part of the Developments in Cardiovascular Medicine series (Volume 231). This academic text addresses the ongoing challenges in understanding the molecular basis of atrial fibrillation. While current therapies focus on heart rate control and preventing systemic emboli through anticoagulation, this book examines the underlying genetic factors that contribute to the condition. Readers will find detailed information regarding familial atrial fibrillation, which occurs more frequently than previously recognized. The text also covers the distinction between atrial fibrillation associated with acquired heart disease and cases involving early onset in individuals without other heart disease, often called lone atrial fibrillators. This resource is designed for medical professionals and researchers looking to understand how atrial fibrillation can occur on a reversible or functional basis. This used book is provided in good condition, making it a reliable addition to your medical library or research collection.
