AB Recent  years  have  witnessed  important  advances  in  our  understanding  of  the  molecular  and  electrophysiologic  mechanisms  underlying  the  development  of  a  variety  of  cardiac  arrhythmias  (Table  79–1)  and  conduction  disturbances.  Progress  in  our  understanding  of  these  phenomena  has  been  fueled  by  innovative  advances  in  our  understanding  of  the  genetic  basis  and  predisposition  for  electrical  dysfunction  of  the  heart.  These  advances  notwithstanding,  our  appreciation  of  the  basis  for  many  rhythm  disturbances  is  incomplete.  This  chapter  examines  our  present  understanding  of  cellular,  ionic,  and  molecular  mechanisms  responsible  for  cardiac  arrhythmias,  placing  them  in  historical  perspective  whenever  possible.
