Cardiac Electrophysiology: From Cell to Bedside defines the entire state of current scientific and clinical knowledge in this subspecialty. In response to the many major recent developments in the field, Drs. Zipes and Jalife have completely updated this modern classic, making the 5th Edition the most significant revision yet. From our latest understanding of ion channels, molecular genetics, and cardiac electrical activity through newly recognized syndromes, unique needs of special patient populations, and new diagnostic and therapeutic options, you'll find all the state-of-the-art guidance you need to make informed, effective clinical decisions. What's more, a significantly restructured organization, a new full-color layout, and full-text online access make reference easier than ever.

本书界定了在这一附属专业领域中的当前整个国家的基础科学和临床知识。鉴于这一领域近期出现了许多重大进展，博士Zipes和Jalife对这一现代经典著作进行了全面的更新，使得第五版成为最为重要的修订版。通过编者对于离子通道，分子遗传学和新发现的综合征的心脏电活动，特殊患者群体的特殊需要和新的诊断及治疗选择的最新理解，读者将会获得其制定合理，有效的临床决定所需的最高技术水平的指导。而且，对于本书组织结构的大幅调整，新的彩色设计，和网上获取全文使得读者比过去更容易获取参考资料。

"This book is an indispensable reference source for anyone interested in having a better understanding of cardiac electrophysiology." - Circulation, review of the last edition "A remarkable book that lives up to the promise of its title. It is an encyclopedic review of all areas of adult and pediatric cardiac electrophysiology ... Can be used by the trainee as an all-inclusive, in-depth course in electrophysiology. However, it will also be useful to the clinician who needs an accessible reference work ... A necessary addition to the library of every cardiology training program and every electrophysiologist, as well as all physicians with a special interest in arrhythmias." - NEJM, review of the last edition
