Coronary artery stenosis usually involves the proximal portion of the larger epicardial coronary arteries, but diffuse coronary artery disease is also not rare. Topics covered includes: Regadenoson, Noninvasive Imaging for the Assessment of Coronary Artery Disease, Non-Invasive Imaging of Coronary Artery Disease, Optical Coherence Tomography for the Assessment of Coronary Plaque Vulnerability, Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery, Surgical Treatment in Diffuse Coronary Artery Disease, Mechanical Complications of Myocardial Infarction, Diabetes and Coronary Artery Disease, Obesity and Heart Diseases, a Worsened Epidemic in Recent Decades, Prevention of Coronary Artery Disease through Diet.

Abnormal Heart Rhythms

We know a lot of things about cardiac rhythms and their abnormalities, but there are some things that are still waiting to be discovered and, therefore, require more study. In this book, the authors put a little light on those matters, which are not well known yet. The authors have exposed some of such cardiac arrhythmias, especially those affecting the atria of the heart. Topics covered includes: Atrial Flutter- Diagnosis, Management and Treatment, Recent Advances in the Noninvasive Study of Atrial Conduction Defects Preceding Atrial Fibrillation, Clinical Significance of Arrhythmogenic Foci in Atrial Fibrillation, Tachycardia-Induced Cardiomyopathy, Review on Amiodarone as an Antiarrhythmic Drug.
