Reihe: European Society of Cardiology

This book draws on the established European guidelines from the ESCthat address the key issues in sudden cardiac death, such asidentifying individuals at risk prior to an episode of aventricular tachyarrhythmia or a sudden cardiac arrest, andresponding in a timely fashion to the person suffering the eventout-of-the-hospital. It presents an update on what is known aboutsudden cardiac arrest, from basic experimental studies to clinicaltrials, and serves as a complement to the ESC Core Syllabus on thissubject.
Topics include epidemiology, genetics, arrhythmogenicmechanisms, risk stratification, autonomic nervous system andphenotypes. Disease states and special populations are alsocovered, as well as drug, device and ablation treatments, and costeffectiveness. All chapters are co-authored by experts from bothEurope and the US.
The ESC Education Series
This book is part of the ESC Education Series. The series isdesigned to provide medical professionals with the latestinformation about the understanding, diagnosis and management ofcardiovascular diseases. Where available, managementrecommendations are based on the established European Guidelines,which encompass the best techniques to use with each cardiacdisease.
