Description
Taylor & Francis Quantitative Cardiac Electrophysiology 2002 Edition by David Rosenbaum
Provides an in-depth study of the theoretical and engineering principles behind the methods and technologies used to solve problems in experimental and clinical cardiac electrophysiology. Each chapter gives an extensive description of the principles underlying a simple method or technology and illustrates how it can be applied to solve problems in basic research and the clinical environment. Table of contents :- Computer models of ion channels computation of the action potential of a cardiac cell modelling the impact of cardiac tissue structure on current flow and wavefront propagation electrical stimulation of cardiac cells computer modelling ofdefibrillation I - the role of cardiac tissue structure computer modelling of defibrillation II - why does the shock fail theoretical and practical considerations for cardiac recording and stimulation electrodes impedance measurements in cardiactissue electrical stimulus, reentry, fibrillation and defibrillation insights gained by the graded response and restitution hypothesis noncontact cardiac mapping electroanatomical cardiac mapping quantitative analysis of complex rhythms.
