Overview

This comprehensive text discusses all aspects of atrial and ventricular cardiac arrhythmias in patients undergoing cardiac surgery for congenital heart problems. This area is one of growing interest, as an increasing number of individuals with heart defects live longer due to improved therapy, and are now facing new problems. The numbers and types of problems being tackled by invasive ablation techniques has been growing dramatically since the mid 1980s, and this publication aims to tie together the aspects of these conditions. Appropriate management of these patients critically depends on knowledge of the type of surgery, the types of arrhythmias these patients are prone to, and the therapeutic modalities that can be used to treat them.
