“The purpose is to introduce several aspects of cardiac arrhythmias, including pathophysiology, pharmacotherapy, clinical management, and device therapy. … This book is intended for practicing cardiologists and cardiology fellows; there are few books aimed at this audience. … This is a high quality book. It is quite useful for its readability and for its illustrations. Compared to other similar books, this one is preferable because it is written in simple language and highlights key points well.” (Daniel Garcia, Doody’s Book Reviews, January, 2018)
