Atrial Fibrillation



Description ,review and table of contents of Atrial Fibrillation : Atrial fibrillation is by far the most frequently diagnosed cardiac arrhythmia in humans, accounting for tens of thousands of hospital admissions and millions of doctor visits. It is responsible for significant morbidity and mortality independent of the myriad of disease states with which it commonly coexists.
Though given a common appellation, what we call atrial fibrillation represents a cornucopia of diseases extending from a focally activated pulmonary vein generator in patients with normal hearts to the diffuse degenerative disease process seen in the very old. It is this diversity of mechanism, combined with our primitive knowledge of its pathophysiology, which has rendered this arrhythmia so resistant to a myriad of interventions. It is the rare patient who can be ‘‘cured.’’you can download Atrial Fibrillation Book for free from the download link.
