Atrial Fibrillation - Diagnosis and Management in the 21st Century provides the most up-to-date information about the most common cardiac arrhythmia in humans, atrial fibrillation. In this rapidly developing field of medicine, the book helps to answer the question, "Which treatment should I choose for which patient?" The book also discusses new drugs, applications and interventions in the field. The 12 chapters are written from a variety of viewpoints by authors who use solid, scientific and contemporary approaches to practical questions.

This book presents the current evidence and practice in the pharmacological treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). AF management has changed significantly in recent years as a new era has begun for the prevention of stroke, one of the most devastating complications of AF. Prevention of ischemic stroke in AF patients with oral anticoagulants represents a huge challenge and the enormous amount of research is revealing new treatment opportunities at a dizzying pace. While new classes of antithrombotic drugs for AF treatment are still in their infancy, recent research is revealing how these can be applied with optimal efficacy. Atrial Fibrillation Therapy includes practical information for readers on applying the guidelines developed as a result of the increased pharmacotherapeutic understanding. This book also guides trainees, recertifying physicians, and practicing physicians in internal medicine, cardiology, emergency medicine, and clinical pharmacology to apply the new diagnostic tools for selecting the best treatment options for AF patients. Discusses new diagnostic tools for selecting therapies for AF patients Presents recent research in a highly practical, easy reference style Emphasis on a just-the-facts approach to the treatment options in AF.

This work provides methods to measure and analyze features of atrial electrograms - especially complex fractionated atrial electrograms (CFAEs) - mathematically. Automated classification of CFAEs into clinical meaningful classes is applied and the newly gained electrogram information is visualized on patient specific 3D models of the atria. Clinical applications of the presented methods showed that quantitative measures of CFAEs reveal beneficial information about the underlying arrhythmia.
