This is the first of a three-volume project aimed at providing unique case reports (20 cases per volume) of a large number of supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias encountered in clinical practice. The book is focused on the treatment of supraventricular arrhythmias, namely focal atrial tachycardias, typical and atypical AVNRT and accessory pathways (both manifest and concealed). All presented-cases were performed using the CARTO electro-anatomical mapping system, which allows the reader to better understand the arrhythmia features due to the     high number of images provided.A large number of high-quality figures, which represent the core of the authors' work, enrich the contents: all cases are built around suggestive figures acquired during the patients' hospitalization, which clearly illustrate important concepts used in catheter ablation of cardiac arrhythmias. The figures are not only related to the catheter ablation procedure, but also to the patient history, thus helping the reader to place the invasive treatment of the arrhythmias into clinical context: electrocardiograms, Holter ECGs, signal-averaged ECGs, chest X-Rays, transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography images, MRI, CT scans, coronary angiography images are provided when considered relevant, in order to better present the patient's condition.  Short videoclips with activation maps of the atria or the ventricles during the studied arrhythmia complete the information provided.Teaching-oriented, all chapters include questions and answers and key messages at the end of each case. For this reason, it will be an invaluable tool for cardiologists, clinical cardiac electrophysiologists, and interventional cardiac electrophysiologists in training, but also for all those interested in learning more about the subject.

The book is the last of a three-volume project, aiming at providing unique case reports (20 cases per volume) of supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias encountered in clinical practice. It focuses on the treatment of ventricular arrhythmias both in structurally normal hearts and in patients with structural heart disease such as ischaemic heart disease, arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy and dilated cardiomyopathy. The cases presented were performed with the CARTO electroanatomical mapping system, which provides numerous images that help the reader to better understand the characteristics of the arrhythmia. The figures, which represent the heart of the authors' work, are built around suggestive figures acquired during the patients' hospitalisation and help place the invasive treatment of arrhythmias in a clinical context. Electrocardiograms, Holter ECGs, signal-averaged ECGs, chest X-rays, transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography images, MRI, CT scans and coronary angiography are provided when relevant to present the patient's condition. Short video clips with maps of activation of the atria or ventricles during the studied arrhythmia complete the information provided. Each chapter includes questions and answers and key messages at the end of each case, making it an invaluable tool for cardiologists, clinical cardiac electrophysiologists and interventional cardiac electrophysiologists in training, as well as anyone interested in learning more.

¿This is the second of a three-volume project aimed at providing unique case reports (20 cases per volume) of supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias encountered in clinical practice. The book focuses on catheter ablation procedures of paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation of atypical atrial flutters. The cases presented were performed using the CARTO electro-anatomical mapping system, providing a high number of images to better understand arrhythmia features. The cases are built around high-quality figures acquired during the patients¿ hospitalization and relevant medical images, such as electrocardiograms, Holter ECGs, and MRI/CT scans. Short videoclips with activation maps of the atria or the ventricles during the studied arrhythmia complete the information provided. The chapters include questions and answers and key messages at the end of each case, making it an invaluable tool for cardiologists, clinical cardiac electrophysiologists, and interventional cardiac electrophysiologists in training, as well as for anyone interested in learning more about the subject.
