Pulmonary Vein Recordings : A Practical Guide to the Mapping and Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation

This essential reference will assist electrophysiologists, fellows in training, and all those involved in the mapping and ablation of atrial fibrillation. Pulmonary Vein Recordings is extensively illustrated with annotated multichannel tracings to facilitate the understanding of complex data obtained by circumferential mapping, leading to successful pulmonary vein isolation. This updated edition incorporates carefully chosen tracings to convey important practical points and useful tips, and electrograms from rare and interesting cases are also included.
