PY - 2020 T2 - Cardiac Arrhythmias: Interpretation, Diagnosis, and Treatment, 2e AB - Twenty-five years ago, Drs. Prystowsky and Klein authored the first edition of this textbook. Our purpose was to “write a comprehensive textbook on an integrated approach to cardiac arrhythmias for individuals without a background in clinical electrophysiology.” While we hoped clinical electrophysiologists would find our book useful, our intent was to educate the broader field of clinicians, for example, medical students, house staff, primary care physicians, cardiologists, and nurses, on the diagnosis and treatment of patients with cardiac arrhythmias. Thousands of copies of the book were sold, and we hope those readers found it useful. We received much feedback from our colleagues and trainees over the years and discussed with each other some alterations to consider when we wrote a second edition. While other textbooks on cardiac arrhythmias are available, we felt there remained a void in providing our practical application of electrophysiological principles and electrocardiographic correlations to the broader community involved in caring for patients as well as the clinical electrophysiologist. This motivated us to pursue a second edition of our book. We welcome our new co-author, Dr. James Daubert, also a Duke-trained electrophysiology fellow, and long-standing friend and colleague.
