The Cardiac Conduction System

The Cardiac Conduction System: Evolution, Development, and Therapeutic Potential provides the reader a thorough and comprehensive review of this intricate system. The book covers conventional topics: anatomy, electrophysiology, and key cellular characteristics, as well as emerging topics: patient specific computer modelling, induced pluripotent stem cells, and in vivo editing as state-of-the-art treatment strategy. Given the exhaustive coverage of topics, this book will likely become the "go-to reference" for the cardiac conduction system for years to come. This is a volume in Elsevier’s new series Hot Topics in Physiology, published in association with the International Union of Physiological Sciences (IUPS). It is an ideal reference for academics and researchers in anatomy, physiology, cardiology, electrophysiology, biomedical engineering and medical education at Undergrad, Masters, PhD, and Post-Doc levels.
