In this issue of Cardiac Electrophysiology Clinics, guest editors Drs. Rafik Tadros, Julia Cadrin-Tourigny, and Jason D. Roberts bring their considerable expertise to the topic of Inherited Cardiac Diseases Predisposing to Sudden Death. Top experts in the field cover key topics such as genetic counseling and genetic testing in inherited heart disease; implantable devices in genetic heart disease; gene-based therapy in inherited arrythmias and cardiomyopathies; personalized care in long QT syndrome; and more.
Key Features
-
Contains 16 relevant, practice-oriented topics including novelties in Brugada syndrome: complex genetics, risk stratification and catheter ablation; novel approaches to treatment of catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia; investigation of unexplained cardiac arrest: phenotyping and genetic testing; impact of imaging to arrhythmic risk stratification in non-ischemic cardiomyopathy; and more.
-
Provides in-depth clinical reviews on inherited cardiac diseases predisposing to sudden death, offering actionable insights for clinical practice.
-
Presents the latest information on this timely, focused topic under the leadership of experienced editors in the field. Authors synthesize and distill the latest research and practice guidelines to create clinically significant, topic-based reviews.
