Cardiac Mechano-Electric Coupling and Arrhythmias offers a thoroughly reviewed compendium on the mechanism and consequences of cardiac mechano-electrical coupling. Written by leading experts in the field, it's coverage ranges from stretch-activated ion channels to mechanically induced arrhythmias and mechanical interventions for heart rhythm correction. Information is grouped into logical sections, from molecular mechanisms, to cell, tissue and whole organ responses, right through to patient-based observations and insight emerging from clinical trials. The information provided carefully highlights both consensus insight and current shortcomings in our understanding of cardiac mechano-electric coupling. . The book has been thoroughly revised and expanded since publication of the first edition in 2005, and has been extensively updated to reflect recent developments in the field, and now offers a more balanced view of mechano-electrical interactions in the heart and develops a more clinical focus. Written with the practising cardiologist and junior doctor in mind, it also offers interesting new insight for the established physician with an interest in cardiac arrhythmogenesis and heart rhythm management.
