Genetic studies on ionic alterations, the electrocardiographic features of cardiac rhythm and an arsenal of diagnostic tests have done more in the last five years than in all the history of cardiology. Similarly, therapy to prevent or cure such diseases is growing rapidly day by day. In this book the reader will be able to see with brighter light some of these intimate mechanisms of production, as well as cutting-edge therapies to date. Genetic studies, electrophysiological and electrocardiographyc features, ion channel alterations, heart diseases still unknown , and even the relationship between the psychic sphere and the heart have been exposed in this book. It deserves to be read! BT - Cardiac Arrhythmias SP - Ch. 13 UR - https://doi.org/10.5772/25402 DO - 10.5772/25402 SN - PB - IntechOpen CY - Rijeka Y2 - 2024-03-28 ER -
