Interatrial Block and Supraventricular Arrhythmias: Clinical Implications of Bayés’ Syndrome
€119,00€107,00
Bayés’ syndrome refers to the association between interatrial block and supraventricular arrhythmias—mainly the occurrence of atrial fibrillation. It is also a risk factor for cardio-embolic stroke. Rapid recognition by analyzing characteristic patterns in the surface ECG will help the physician to closely monitor the patient for atrial fibrillation and decide on anticoagulation therapy if the clinical risk of stroke is increased.
Interatrial blocks were described several decades ago. However, they are now gaining the attention of the medical community as a means of helping to identify patients at high risk of developing atrial fibrillation and/or cardio-embolic stroke.
Key Features:
The book begins with chapters on the normal atrial electrical activity and interatrial conduction system, and the historical background of research on interatrial blocks. It then covers the pathophysiology, epidemiology, and diagnosis of interatrial blocks. The relationship between interatrial blocks, supraventricular tachycardias, and other cardiac and noncardiac conditions is discussed in detail. The last chapters of the book focus on the concepts of atrial resynchronization and future perspectives on the treatment of interatrial block.
